Render the text “This is an example of speech synthesis.” as speech.
C#
You need to 'Add Reference' to the COM "Microsoft Speech Object Library" in your Preferences. <lang csharp>using SpeechLib;
namespace Speaking_Computer {
public class Program { private static void Main() { var voice = new SpVoice(); voice.Speak("This is an example of speech synthesis."); } }
}</lang>
Tcl
This just passes the string into the Festival system:
<lang tcl>exec festival --tts << "This is an example of speech synthesis."</lang>
Alternatively, on MacOS X, you'd use the system say
program:
<lang tcl>exec say << "This is an example of speech synthesis."</lang>
On Windows, there is a service available by COM for speech synthesis:
<lang tcl>package require tcom
set msg "This is an example of speech synthesis." set voice [::tcom::ref createobject Sapi.SpVoice] $voice Speak $msg 0</lang> Putting these together into a helper procedure, we get: <lang tcl>proc speak {msg} {
global tcl_platform if {$tcl_platform(platform) eq "windows"} { package require tcom set voice [::tcom::ref createobject Sapi.SpVoice] $voice Speak $msg 0 } elseif {$tcl_platform(os) eq "Darwin"} { exec say << $msg } else { exec festival --tts << $msg }
} speak "This is an example of speech synthesis."</lang>
UNIX Shell
Here we use the open source espeak tool:
<lang bash>#!/bin/sh espeak "This is an example of speech synthesis."</lang>
