Hi John,
Sorry, it seems Chinese TTS won't work with Revolution. Chinese text
is always Unicode in Revolution and apparently your TTS engine
doesn't understand that.
It looks like it should be possible to convert GB2321 to unicode and
back with a script, just like GB2312 (see Wikipedia). After
converting unnicode text to GB2321, you can export the binary text to
a file and use the command line or a VBScript to open this with your
commercial TTS engine. Don't try to display DB2312 in Revolution, as
it won't display properly.
Best regards,
Mark Schonewille

Hi,
This is my first shot at using the list.
I have a TTS program that speaks plain text just fine using either
MS Sam
or an ATT voice.
Now I'm trying to get it to speak Chinese using a Chinese voice
installed
on my machine.
The font of the text field is set to arial, unicode. I can input
Chinese
via either the IME or by dragging Chinese text into the field.
I set the revSpeechVoices to the Chinese voice and hit the button
labeled
"Speak", which contains the following mouseUp handler:
revSpeak fld "f3"
The Chinese voice spoke, but the utterance wasn't Chinese. Next, I
changed the handler to:
revSpeak uniDecode(fld "f3","Chinese")
That didn't work
When that didn't work, I tried
revSpeak uniDecode(fld "f3","SimpleChinese")
That didn't work.
When I was typing Chinese text in my wordprocessor via the IME, I
noticed
that the font script was Chinese_GB2321. I could drag the text to my
commercial TTS software, and it could read the text in Chinese.
Maybe I need to convert the unicode text I have in my field to GB2321,
which I understand is similar to unicode.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks.
John
