Hi all, Tonight while chatting on the Audiogames.net forum a guy passed on a link to a free open source Java speech API for VI Java developers. This is definitely something we could use. Here is the information.
= Phonemic version 1.0, June 1, 2011 = == Introduction == This is the first official release of the Phonemic speech library. Phonemic is a Java library that allows its users to write cross-platform speaking applications. == Big Features == * Support for many major speech systems, including Microsoft SAPI, JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver and ORCA. * Provides a single API to communicate with all engines. * Support for various types of speech modifications (when available): * Volume control * Pitch control (either manually or automatically through the speakChar functions). * Speed control * Speech modifications are consistent across engines. * Support for blocking speech calls (when available). * Ability to query an engine for its features. * Ability to switch engines on the fly (Windows and Mac OS X only). * A queuing system that enables the use of speech priorities, even when not supported natively by the engine. * A speech processing mechanism to enable advanced pre-processing of speech before it is sent to an engine. * Ability to query for / change voice when supported by the engine. == Supported Engines == Phonemic currently supports the following platforms and speech engines: * Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7: * Microsoft Speech API (SAPI) * JAWS * NVDA * Mac OS X * Carbon (on Intel Macs only), the same speech interface used by VoiceOver. * The `say' command * Linux * speech-dispatcher (available by default on Vinux and Ubuntu), the same speech interface used by ORCA. == Home Page http://sourceforge.net/projects/phonemic/files/ Cheers! --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
