Tts Engines

[Guest jackthehack]

I am planning a multi-line multi-lingual application with tts. Can Windows load different tts engines simultaneously. Will I need a server version of the engines?

 

Thanks,

You can use SAPI XML tags to specify which language is to be used within the TTS text itself, allowing you to switch engines on demand.

Yes, I have had success switching between languages using XML tags on a single line application. My question is: In a multiline application, for a given engine, say AT&T, can it TTS in a particular languge on one line, and simultaneously TTS in another language, on another line? Can I TTS with one engine on one line, and simultaneously TTS with another engine on another line, in the same computer?

 

Thanks again,

Yes.

And this will be easy for you to test. Make a script which plays a different TTS text using a different language depending on some user selection and then make two (or more) simultaneous calls into the system and select different TTS on each call - you will then be able to hear the different TTS'd languages played on the different lines at the same time.
