text-to-speech

I'm trying to have the iOS text-to-speech synthesizer "say" a list of phrases with a variable delay between the phrases. For example, I may want to it say "Hello", then wait 5 seconds, then "Is anyone there?", then wait 10 seconds, then say "Hello?"...etc. I've made a simple example below that illustrates what I am trying to do. I know that the speech synthesizer is speaking, additional utterances are added to a queue and spoken in the order they are received. I've tried many ways to achieve this delay in the loop. Testing delays with a print statement confirms they are working, but they seem

Using the System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer class in .Net 3.5, the AudioPosition property of the SpeakProgressEventArgs appears to be inaccurate. The following code produces the following output: Code: using System; using System.Speech.Synthesis; using System.Threading; namespace SpeechTest { class Program { static ManualResetEvent speechDoneEvent = new ManualResetEvent(false); static void Main(string[] args) { SpeechSynthesizer synthesizer = new SpeechSynthesizer(); synthesizer.SpeakProgress += new EventHandler<SpeakProgressEventArgs>(synthesizer_SpeakProgress); synthesizer

I have a page where there is a list of vocabularies. I have a TTS for each vocabulary. The current approach that I am using is to include an mp3 flash player for each vocabulary. This creates delay to load all the flash because there can be more than 10 vocabularies in one page. another problem is that the mp3 of the tts file has to be created on the page load, this also gives delay to the loading time. Some alternative approach in my mind is to: include only one flash player. load and play the file on click to reduce page load for tts file creation. So my question is, Is there any javascript

When using the speak function in the Web Speech API, in Chrome the speaking stops abruptly after a few seconds, in the middle of the text given to it, in a seemingly random place (without reaching the end). This only happens in Chrome (works well on Firefox), tested on two different computers/systems. Have a look at this jsfiddle to see/listen: https://jsfiddle.net/fv9ochpq/ You can see that the SpeechSynthesis object .speaking flag stays on(true) after it stops speaking. I haven't seen any documented limit to the text passed to the utterance. Is this a Google Chrome bug? BTW, I've known about

I want to use TTS (Text to Speech) APIs in my android application.Now i have one quetions - Is it support TURKISH language ? I also want to highlight word in textview when that perticular word is being spoke. How can i do it ? Can anybody help me ? Thanks in advance ! Does it support TURKISH language This may vary on different handsets/flavours of Android. You can check it out for yourself using the mTTS.isLanguageAvailable(new Locale("tr", "TUR")); I also want to highlight word in textview when that particular word is being spoke. Well you have a TextToSpeech.OnUtteranceCompletedListener() ,

I want to write output from the TextToSpeech engine to my app's cache directory. In order to for the TTS to write there I first have to give it permissions to do so. But I don't know how. I understand that normally such problems can be solved by handing a FileDescriptor over thus giving permissions to access a specific file. But I can't do that with TTS, as the TextToSpeech.synthesizeToFile method only accepts the file path as a String, no FileDescriptor . So what to do? To make my point that TTS really hasn't permissions to write to my app's directories, here's the code...: TextToSpeech mTts

This is my code for Chinese TTS which is failing in the speak function although Chinese TTS engine is installed successfully using Microsoft.Speech.Synthesis; using System.Globalization; namespace TTS3 { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { //CultureInfo=new CultureInfo("zh-CN"); SpeechSynthesizer synth = new SpeechSynthesizer(); // Output information about all of the installed voices. foreach (InstalledVoice voice in synth.GetInstalledVoices(new CultureInfo("zh-CN"))) { synth.SelectVoice(voice.VoiceInfo.Name); //Console.WriteLine(synth.Voice.Description); synth

I want to know whether is there any way I can save the input to the android speaker.I mean save the current voice being played by the speaker.This I need because android TTS speech synthesizer doesn't work.So I cannot save the audio,I can just play it. Thanking you, Sreekanth Solved the issue by the following code (android TTS started working) public class TextToSpeechActivity extends Activity implements OnInitListener { private static TextToSpeech mTts; private int MY_DATA_CHECK_CODE = 0; private Button mSpeakButton; //String name; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override
