text-to-speech

I want to use Google's Text-To-Speech API in an Android app but I only could find the way to do it from web (Chrome). This is my first attempt to play "Hello world" from the app. playTTS is the onClick and it is been executed, but no sound is played. Is there any JS/Java library I need to import? Is it possible to generate an audio file from it? @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); myBrowser = new WebView(this); if (savedInstanceState == null) { getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()

I am using Android Text to Speech engine for reading some text and it's working. But my text contains numbers and I want the numbers to be read digit by digit. I couldn't find anything in the documentation, but I am still hoping someone knows how I can do that. The API does not allow you to specify how the text should be read so your code has to modify the text input so that it reads the individual numbers. I suggest adding a space in between each number. That should cause the TextToSpeech to read the individual numbers. If you need some code to help you detect numbers use this: private

Even though I am setting it correctly: HashMap<String, String> myHashRender = new HashMap<String, String>(); myHashRender.put(TextToSpeech.Engine.KEY_PARAM_UTTERANCE_ID, "utid"); mTts.speak("Speak something", TextToSpeech.QUEUE_ADD, myHashRender); also mTts.setOnUtteranceCompletedListener(this); in the onInit function return success. Still the onUtteranceCompleted does not get called. Though there are duplicate questions, but no where I could find the answer. My Activity also implements OnUtteranceCompletedListener. Please help. Call the setOnUtteranceCompletedListener inside the onInit

I need to use male voice in SpeechSynthesizer in addition to default Anna voice. I installed some files from Microsoft, and GetInstalledVoices() method says now I have Microsoft Anna, Microsoft Mary, Microsoft Mike and Sample TTS Voice. After I'm trying to set voice speaker.SelectVoice("Microsoft Mike"); my program throws exception: Cannot set voice. No matching voice is installed or the voice was disabled. What should I exactly install and how to enable Mike's voice? System is Windows7. Dork After trying many suggestions from web found working solution: - install Microsoft Speech Platform SDK

I have a working text to speech but I was wondering instead of a female voice when the app calls it to be played it will do a male voice instead? It is now possible to use male/female voice and change it from App UI dynamically. Define TTS like this (add google tts engine in constructor): tts = new TextToSpeech(context, this, "com.google.android.tts"); contex = activity/app this= TextToSpeech.OnInitListener From tts.getVoices() list, chose your desired voice by it's name like this: for (Voice tmpVoice : tts.getVoices()) { if (tmpVoice.getName().equals(_voiceName)) { return tmpVoice; break; } }

I'm failing to be able to play audio when making an "AJAX" request to my server side api. I have backend Node.js code that's using IBM's Watson Text-to-Speech service to serve audio from text: var render = function(request, response) { var options = { text: request.params.text, voice: 'VoiceEnUsMichael', accept: 'audio/ogg; codecs=opus' }; synthesizeAndRender(options, request, response); }; var synthesizeAndRender = function(options, request, response) { var synthesizedSpeech = textToSpeech.synthesize(options); synthesizedSpeech.on('response', function(eventResponse) { if(request.params.text

I am attempting to find a way to take synthesized speech and record it to an audio file. I am currently using pyttsx as my text-to-speech library, but there isn't a mechanism for saving the output to a file, only playing it directly from the speakers. I've looked into detecting and recording audio as well as PyAudio , but these seem to take input from a microphone rather than redirecting outgoing audio to a file. Is there a known way to do this? dtrujillo You can call espeak with the -w argument using subprocess . import subprocess def textToWav(text,file_name): subprocess.call(["espeak", "-w"
