Hello, I am a new obj-c programmer. I decided to take a look at GNUSpeech
because I am interested in speech synthesis and I've wanted to implement an
existing open source speech synthesis implementation as an Apple Audio Unit
synthesizer for some time. I like the sound of GNUSpeech compared to other
synthesis packages I tested, and wanted to learn some of the more advanced
oop programming techniqes used in its implimentation such as setting up and
managing Events. I decided to start out by creating a simple "Hello World"
example utilizing the GNUSpeechserver as a starting point. My goal is to
create a package that is not reliant on an external speech daemon/server to
synthesize text and has the synthesis callback components compiled within
the audiounit. This way I can experiment with the synthesis parameters if I
wanted to, ie testing different types of noise, square wave vs. sine wave,
etc.
Because I am a bit of a beginner, please let me know if because of my level
of experience this email is inappropriate. I'm having trouble with
segmentation faults as the program accesses speechtophone methods.
Here is my very naive implementation:
#import "TextToSpeech.h"
int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
// insert code here...
NSLog(@"Hello, World!");
TextToSpeech * textToSpeech;
NSLog(@"0");
[textToSpeech init];
NSString * stext = @"hello world text";
[textToSpeech speakText:stext];
[textToSpeech dealloc];
//[phoneString dealloc];
[pool drain];
return 0;
}
I'm sure there are many problems with the above implementation, and I hope
they aren't too many to list in a response email. Any nudges in the correct
direction would be very helpful. Please don't waste too much of your time
on me.
Thank you,
John Delaney
