Common interface to speech synthesis

Index:

Introduction

TTS API Provider will provide a simple low-level interface to synthesizers through the well defined TTS API.

TTS API was developed in cooperation with a wide range of Free Software accessibility projects with the goal to create unified way to access speech synthesis. TTS API Provider is an effort to create real implementation of the designed API.

TTS API Provider will be useful for

  • high-level speech APIs (such as Speech Dispatcher or Gnome Speech)
  • simple applications that want to do speech synthesis but do not want advanced things like message synchronization and priorities (txt2wav)
  • applications that need a high control of the speech devices
