TTspeak

Text to Speech and Speech Recognition header with Microsoft SAPI(5.4) use. Version 2.0

Getting Started

The Microsoft Speech Aplication Program Interface (SAPI) is convoluted and contains little to no tutorials w/ documentation. So here's my attempt to shorten that learning curve. TTspeak.h provides a simple API linker that will allow you to use Voice Synthesis and Voice Recognition significantly easier. Allowing quick prototype development without significant time investment.

Prerequisites

This is written in C++ (14) and the GCC and GNU library. Make sure to keep your repositories up to date. A Microsoft Operating System: Windows Vista or later.

Installing

Download a copy of the ttspeak.h header file. An example (main.cpp) provided as a small guide as to how to use the software.

How to Use

Link the ttspeak header file on your IDE of choice. Project completed in Visual Studio 2015.

#include "ttspeak.h"

Construct the speech object(s) from TTSpeak class

ttspeak speechOut;
ttspeak speechIn;

Give the loadComSpeak function parameters for your specific project: Options FEMALE / MALE.

speechOut.loadComSpeak(200,FEMALE);

Load the Voice Input for your speech object:

speechIn.loadVoiceInput();

Let them speak

speechOut.comSpeak("Hello World!");
speechIn.voiceInput(std::string saved); // requires datatype string as parameter.
