Re: NSSpeechSynthesizer is mute :P

[Gregory Casamento]

NSSpeechSynthesizer is an abstract base class.  The speech synthesizer is working if you have flite installed.   You can test it with the "say" command.   

If you look at allocWithZone: in the NSSpeechSynthesizer class you'll see that it tries to contact the speech synthesis server and get a new synthesizer and return that.

GSSpeechSynthesizer (in the speech server under Tools) dispatches a request to speak to the server and returns YES or NO depending on whether it was successfully processed.

None of this will happen unless you have flite installed.

Hello guys,

I am trying to make NSSpeechSynthesizer speak the contents of a textField but no sound comes out of it. 

This should init the synthesizer with the default voice:

    speechSynth = [[NSSpeechSynthesizer alloc] initWithVoice:nil];

Then I do:

    [speechSynth startSpeakingString:string]; 

but I get no sound. Is this a bug?

Thanks

Luis
