Few days earlier I showed you how can we create a simple REALbasic computer’s speech synthesizer with Speak Method. Today Premium Members can get for free my RBCSpeach Class that add some bonus features to Speak like convert text file to audio, read text file, save string to Aiff format and stop reading function.
RBCSpeach Class is compatible only with Mac OS. Here is example how can you use this Class. Hope you will enjoy it, and thank you one more time for supporting REALbasic City! You can save the audio only to Aiff format, but when it’s done you can for example convert it to MP3 using iTunes.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | Dim s As New RBCSpeech s.ConvertTextFileToAudio("Users/qbap/Desktop/text.txt","Users/qbap/Desktop/audio.aiff") //(where the text file is in String, where save audio file in String) s.SpeakString ("I like REALbasic City! Please love me") //(some string) s.ReadFile("Users/qbap/Desktop/text.txt") //(where the text file is in String) s.SaveStringToAiff("I like REALbasic City!","Users/qbap/Desktop/audio.aiff") //(some string, where save audio file) |
If you are opening a long text file and you like to Stop reading you can use the RBCSpeach.Stop Method. Here is a example how can you use it:
1 2 3 | Dim s As New RBCSpeech s.Stop |
