This is way too much fun
« on: June 30, 2005, 11:17:22 PM »
I've been playing the the FreeTTS speech synthesis package. I'm having way too much fun this. It's so cool to type in text and here the speech. Why haven't more applications integrated this sort of technology?

it's not perfect, and it kind of needs to be to be effective. there's nothing you can do with tts that you can't do with sound files (besides immediate things like reading text you just wrote).

There's an entire API designed for C on the windows platform, it includes not only speech synthesis but speech recognition (very easily too).

The name of it is slipping my mind at the moment....I'm sure a google search will bring it up rather quickly.

Lets just hope its not the same speech recognition crap that office used, that one was a hall of shamer.
