text-to-speech

I am looking for a way to convert text(string) in ENG to speech(sound) in c#. do anyone know for a way or some open-source lib that can help me with this task? You can use .NET lib( System.Speech.Synthesis ). According to Microsoft : The System.Speech.Synthesis namespace contains classes that allow you to initialize and configure a speech synthesis engine, create prompts, generate speech, respond to events, and modify voice characteristics. Speech synthesis is often referred to as text-to-speech or TTS. A speech synthesizer takes text as input and produces an audio stream as output. Speech

I have followed several tutorials, but I am experiencing the same problem. First, here is my simple code: import java.util.Locale; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.Intent; import android.content.pm.ActivityInfo; import android.os.Bundle; import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech; import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech.OnInitListener; import android.util.Log; public class AchievementsActivity extends Activity implements OnInitListener { TextToSpeech reader; Locale canada; boolean readerInit = false; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate

Is it possible to install and configure some male voices on android.speech.tts.Voice ? I have read some news that Android had made some available recently, but I can't find or configure any. All the ones that I try with command tts.setLanguage(Locale.ITALY); are female. No, not at present. An enhancement request is needed so that the gender can be included in the Voice Feature Set , such that: Voice[Name: en-AU-afi-network, locale: en_AU, quality: 500, latency: 400, requiresNetwork: true, features: [networkTimeoutMs, networkRetriesCount, male ]] I have sent emails to Text to Speech providers

I am developing a text-to-speech iphone app that support multi-languages. Here is my request URL requestUrlStr = @"http://www.translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=en&q=hello"; for english the above url has no problem but for Chinese requestUrlStr = @"http://www.translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=zh-TW&q=你好"; I know the above url will give 'Bad URL', so I used follow method to encode the string into UTF-8 requestUrlStr = [requestUrlStr stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; It will become http://www.translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=zh-CN&q=%E4%BD%A0%E5%A5%BD

I can't seem to find anything on this. Are there any Siri classes or API's in iOS7 that let you do text to speech? All I am trying to do is something like the following: [siriInstance say:@"This is a test"]; And then have Siri say it from my app. It seems we should be capable of doing this, no? Seems like a trivial thing. Since iOS 7 you have a new TTS Api. In Objective C AVSpeechSynthesizer *synthesizer = [[AVSpeechSynthesizer alloc]init]; AVSpeechUtterance *utterance = [AVSpeechUtterance speechUtteranceWithString:@"Some text"]; [utterance setRate:0.2f]; [synthesizer speakUtterance:utterance]

Using MBROLA voices in a Java program with FreeTTS... I am working on a simple text-to-speech program in Java. I have decided to use FreeTTS, but the voices are not really what I was thinking, and I was looking to use a female voice anyway. So I started looking around, and decided that I would use MBROLA to change the voice of my text-to-speech program. I read that "FreeTTS can use MBROLA voices" , but I searched everywhere and couldn't find a clear guide how to set MBROLA up, and what files are needed to do so. There are many forums on MBROLA working alongside FreeTTS, however it also seems
