Any help on this? What you would need to effectively do this is 1. When the user inputs the text, pass it to the text to speech converter. I've used festival for this using mbrola. You can use espeak also. Specify the file format - .wav for instance as the output format and generate the file on your web server. 2. Use swftools to convert the .wav to .swf and then play that swf on your site within in iframe or as a pop-up or via ajax. You can show 'generating preview' till conversion to .wav and then to .swf is not complete. 3. Once the user confirms, then use either ffmpeg or sox to convert the .wav file and provide it as .ogg or whatever format you need. Or you can provide it as .wav only. Hope it helps.

Re: [ilugd] Text to speech converter
One simple thing which would come into my mind is, to have a layer in between your GUI and Audio converter which handles preview. So the GUI takes the input, passes on to preview generator and once approved my the user, the preview generator can pass the text to the Audio Engine. However, is the audio dependent on the preview, because my understanding of preview is that is is to confirm the formatting etc, but the audio has nothing to do with textual formatting, so you can do the 2 tasks in a parallel fashion, the GUI can display the textual formatting for preview purposes and then GUI can use the api to convert into audio files.
