common interface to speech synthesis

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

The Speech Dispatcher project provides a high-level device independent layer for access to speech synthesis through a simple, stable and well documented interface. Key features: o Common interface to different TTS engines. o Handling concurrent synthesis requests - requests may come asynchronously from multiple sources within an application and/or from different applications. o Subsequent serialization, resolution of conflicts and priorities of incoming requests. o Context switching - state is maintained for each client connection independently, event for connections from within one application. o High-level client interfaces for popular programming languages. o Common sound output handling - audio playback is handled by Speech Dispatcher rather than the TTS engine, since most engines have limited sound output capabilities.
