Guest roozbeh Posted October 9, 2004 Report Posted October 9, 2004 hi there... i was wondering if there is any text to speech program out there? regards roozbeh
Guest squall Posted October 9, 2004 Report Posted October 9, 2004 no not yet. a few people mentioned it, considering the concept. could be cool, but would prob take up lots of space
Guest Confucious Posted October 10, 2004 Report Posted October 10, 2004 http://www.msmobilenews.com/?cid=620 for texts and emails apparently.
Guest squall Posted October 10, 2004 Report Posted October 10, 2004 er voice text is not the same as text to voice
Guest Djarid Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 Mapopolis has text to speech functionality and that isn't that large an application... I guess the hard part is making the the text-to-speech functionality available to the built-in applications.
Guest squall Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 it would work on Mapopolis because there arent too many voice recordings the phone needs, turn left / right etc. These are all recorded sounds. Imagine having every word in the t9 dictionary recorded - problem there i think! So the other way to do it is to create a voice that knows how to pronouce letters/words. Not easy. I think thats where we are up to
Guest phAn Posted October 11, 2004 Report Posted October 11, 2004 it would work on Mapopolis because there arent too many voice recordings the phone needs, turn left / right etc. These are all recorded sounds.No they are not. Mapopolis really does have a text to speech function. It reads out streetnames and turns etcetera. And they haven't pre-recorded every silly streetname of the benelux, no way ;-) If you have mapopolis, test it by finding a route and enabling "Recite Route Step Text" under menu >> settings >> route/navigation. It works quite well I think, even though it recites Dutch streetnames in English, but I can't blame an English text-to-speech for that. What I do find irritating is the fact that it strangely pronounces "km" (abbreviation for kilometer) when mapopolis is configured to use kilometers instead of miles. Instead of saying "kilometer" it simply says "k(uh)m"
Guest Myke Posted October 12, 2004 Report Posted October 12, 2004 on the mpx220, when you voice dial calls, the program says the name of the contact youre calling using text to speech. so the phones already has the text to speech software, we just gotta find out how to use it for other stuff ^_^
Guest slippyr4 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Posted October 13, 2004 It can't be that hard or require too much space, for a crude version at least anyway. I had a text to speach engine on my BBC Micro years ago- which had 32Kb RAM.
Guest roozbeh Posted October 13, 2004 Report Posted October 13, 2004 i have also had a program which run with pc speaker and it was for dos and only 300-400kb in size anyway it would be cool a program that reads my sms or read ebooks and....
