Little SAPI4 and SAPI5 UserLibrary to test

[Esteban1]

After digging a lot in the SAPI 5.1 SDK finally found the way to get ALL the events working while speaking to a .wav file... by looking for the things the SDK doesn't explain!
(Microsoft guys really keep some details for themselves.)

Well, now you can get informed of the progress of encoding for all the engines installed in your system, independently of the SAPI version.

There's also a new function, TTSEngLang(). It retrieves the language description of the voices.

You can get PureTTS here:

http://geocities.com/esteban1uy/My_drive.html

Just look for the last release.

[Ziltch]

This is great!
It is working fine here ! (win 2000 sp4, AMD 2100)

I have not seen any thing before that can work with both SAPI 4 & 5. Very Clever work.

[Esteban1]

to Ziltch:

Thank you very much for testing it.

The idea is to have a set of functions that works the same way for SAPI 4 AND 5. This is not very original, there are a lot of commercial products that allow to do the same thing as this userlibrary, but I found those dlls or activex components not very reliable (some of them just a piece of... you know, and there are guys that want to make a couple of bucks with them). For most peoples SAPI 5 is enough, but there are still many free SAPI 4 voices (engines) all around the web. For example, IBM voices are very accurate, they write to a .wav at incredible speed, are available in many languages, and are SAPI 4 compliant!!!

[ebs]

But the problem is that fweil's voices don't apeare in voices list. If someone knows where we can find french voices which apear, please say where.

If you're still looking, free SAPI4 French male and female voices can be downloaded at:

Thx. I understand... It is voices for SAPI 4... And My computer doesn't like them argh... It seams to be impossible to have SAPI 4 and 5 to be installed on my computer and add thes voices without crash. It does it just with PureTTS because when I want to use SAPI with VBScript and have thes voices installed, it doesn't crash... strange.

[Esteban1]

to Gansta93:

Can you provide some debugging information?

Which engines have you installed, which SAPI version are they, does TTSInit() return any initialization codes?

Maybe we can test the initialization steps one by one to find what's going wrong.

First of all, give a try to this:

Code: Select all

  Enumeration 
    #ST_DEFAULT = 0 
    #ST_KEEPUNDO = 1 
    #ST_SELECTION = 2 
    #CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER  = $1
    #CLSCTX_INPROC_HANDLER = $2
    #CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER   = $4
    #CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER  = $10
    #CLSCTX_ALL = (#CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER|#CLSCTX_INPROC_HANDLER|#CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER|#CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER)
  EndEnumeration
  CoInitialize_(0)
  If CoCreateInstance_(?CLSID_SpVoice, 0,#CLSCTX_ALL, ?IID_ISpVoice, @a)=0
    MessageRequester("Success!", "You have SAPI 5 installed!", #MB_OK|#MB_ICONINFORMATION)
  Else
    MessageRequester("Failure!", "You don't have SAPI 5 installed!", #MB_OK|#MB_ICONWARNING)
  EndIf
  If CoCreateInstance_(?CLSID_ITextToSpeech, 0,#CLSCTX_ALL, ?IID_ITextToSpeech, @b)=0
    MessageRequester("Success!", "You have SAPI 4 installed!", #MB_OK|#MB_ICONINFORMATION)
  Else
    MessageRequester("Failure!", "You don't have SAPI 5 installed!", #MB_OK|#MB_ICONWARNING)
  EndIf
  CoUninitialize_()
  DataSection
  CLSID_SpVoice:
  Data.l $96749377
  Data.w $3391,$11D2
  Data.b $9E,$E3,$00,$C0,$4F,$79,$73,$96
  IID_ISpVoice:
  Data.l $269316D8
  Data.w $57BD,$11D2
  Data.b $9E,$EE,$00,$C0,$4F,$79,$73,$96
  CLSID_ITextToSpeech:
  Data.l $EEE78591
  Data.w $FE22,$11D0
  Data.b $8B,$EF,$00,$60,$08,$18,$41,$DE
  IID_ITextToSpeech:
  Data.l $EEE78590

TTSInit() areturnes that I have the two angines installed. But when the program end, I have the error.

[Esteban1]

to Gansta93:

Are you sure you are terminating the speech support with TTSEnd()?

The problem sounds a little weird, if TTSInit() is not the source of trouble, then you can use TTSSpeak() and every other function in the library!!!

First you said that TTSInit() gave you a "big crash", but now the crash is at the end of the program.

Could you please post some code to show what's wrong and help you to find the solution?


Esteban1

[Gansta93]

I though it was TTSInit() which caused the crash. But it is the end of the program. Even if I call TTSEnd() at the end of my program, my computer crashes. So it is the same when I don't call TTSEnd() at the end.
An example, all codes.

Oh my computer... it's like me, strange.

[Esteban1]

I'm afraid I can't help you.


Luck

PureTTS userlibrary was updated for compatibility with PB 4.00

hello !

is this possible to have the source code of your lib? TTS

Thanks ..

voici le dernier code de mon lecteur de press-papier en date !!

il gere la vitesse de lecture, et sauvegarde cette vitesse
ainsi que la voix choisi dans un fichier text "init.txt"
maintenant la nationalité apparait dans la liste des voix ..

voici le code (si vous avez installé les voix il doit marcher niquel)

il filtre les smileys !!
on peu regler le pitch sur les voix sapi4
le volume sur toute les voix (sapi4,5)
la vitesse de diction

Bien, il y a long temps puisque j'ai rendu PureTTS userlibrary. Je pense que vous pouvez effectuer bien mieux un travail employant juste le nouveau PureDispHelper userlibrary et les COM de SAPI. Jetez un coup d'oeil à http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=26744

Merci pour ta réponse
effectivement , PureDispHelper est interressant, mais
c'est dommage , j'aimais bien ta lib, avec la possibilité de tout regler facilement (vitesse de diction,hauteur de diction,choix de la voix ect ...)
et surtout le fait qu'elle soit spécifique a la synthese vocale !!
j'ai peur qu'un jour tu ne mette plus a jour ta librairie ...
j'ai fais moi meme un synthetiseur vocale, et ta librairie, m'a simplifié
beaucoup la vie

PureDispHelper is interressant, but it is a pity, I liked your lib, with the possibility all of regulating easily (speed of diction, height of diction, choice of the voice ect…) and especially the fact that it is specific to the voice synthesis!!

vraiment dommage les lib c'est mieux quand le source est disponible ..
si Purebasic évolue encore, avons nous l'espoir
que tu fasse la mise a jour dans le futur ?
ton code est Top secret ?
tu compte vendre ta lib ?

je peux m'en passer, mais ce serai cool de partager tes sources non ?

really damage the lib it is better when the source is available.
if Purebasic still evolves/moves, have us to it hope what you makes the update in the future?
your code is Top secret ?
you want to sell your lib?
I can do some, but they will be cool to share your sources not?
