text-to-speech

I just try to run simple microsoft example for Text To Speech using using Microsoft.Speech.dll; using System; using Microsoft.Speech.Synthesis; namespace TTS { class Program { public static void Main(string[] args) { Console.WriteLine("Testing TTS!"); // Initialize a new instance of the SpeechSynthesizer. using (SpeechSynthesizer synth = new SpeechSynthesizer()) { // Output information about all of the installed voices. Console.WriteLine("Installed voices -"); foreach (InstalledVoice voice in synth.GetInstalledVoices()) { VoiceInfo info = voice.VoiceInfo; Console.WriteLine(" Voice Name: " +

On Android, when using a TextToSpeech instance that uses the Google text to speech engine, it seems as though the method isLanguageAvailable() is unreliable. I say this because there are many instances where this method will return "success" (0,1,or 2), but subsequent speak() commands only results in silence.

Thanks in advance.. What language are you using? If your device doesn't have the language installed, it, obviously, can't play it. If it's anything but US, try that. If so then please post your code. On my Captivate, I had to manually install (prompted by Google Navigation) the TTS data files to enable speech directions. This may have been

I don't want to put all my code here, so I'm just putting the relevant pieces. If you need more, feel free to ask. I'm using Text To Speech (TTS) which leads to a speech listener after it asks a question... I found through Log outputs that TTS's onInit is being called, but the UtteranceProgressListener is not and I can't figure out why. Any help is appreciated. // ---Initialize TTS variables--- // Implement Text to speech feature tts = new TextToSpeech(this, new ttsInitListener()); // set listener to the TTS engine tts.setOnUtteranceProgressListener(new ttsUtteranceListener()); if (!tts

I want rewrite C# Winforms desktop application to Universal Windows Platform , but first of all I'm trying to figure out, what should be suitable for my goal. The reason why I want to use UWP is a quality of Speech Recognition, (maybe also work on other devices, but this is currently very secondary). Here is my previous question Speech recognition for windows desktop application where advised to use UWP with Speech recognition Quickstart: Recognize speech with the Speech SDK for .NET Framework I developing non-commercial, personal, and actively used application, which requires better quality
