Text to speech on iPhone [closed]

Question

The Flite speech synthesis engine can be run on an iPhone, ref http://artofsystems.blogspot.com/2009/02/speech-synthesis-on-iphone-with-flite.html

I don't think iPhone SDK provides any TTS facility internally. You should use a third party TTS engine or write one yourself.

OpenEars also does text-to-speech on the iPhone (note: I'm the developer).

I'm probably bumping a dead thread but the Flite text-to-speech engine worked wonders for me!

Hope it helps!

Here's another text to speech:

You need to download it and install as an API then you can use it like that :

[fliteEngine speakText:@"Hi there"];                    // Make it talk
[fliteEngine setPitch:90.0 variance:50.0 speed:0.9];    // Change the voice properties
[fliteEngine setVoice:@"cmu_us_awb"];                   // Switch to a different voice
[fliteEngine stopTalking];                              // stop talking

Pretty easy to use once you installed it as an API correctly.

I wrote a wrapper around pocket sphinx and flite, you should be able to check it out pretty quickly.
