Speak Text using ESD and IBM ViaVoice

Edited on January 1st, 1970, 00:00 UT.

Purpose

Clean example of registering an ESound (or any waveform) callback with IBM Viavoice 5.0

Documentation

Source documentation is included in LaTeX, man, and HTML format. The source is self-documenting in Doxygen format. Probably compatible with Doc++, as well.

Uses

  1. The two utilities speak and speakfile work and are useful; immediately satisfying my need for a simple command line tool which uses ESD.
    'speakfile /dev/stdin' serves me as a crude but effective text reader until I have time to write a panel app which reads highlighted text.
  2. Gives me (and you?) a single, clean piece of code to drop into any GNOME-friendly app needing TTS.

Requires

Install

    make clean
