Text to Speech

The text to speech: Artificial voice creation that looks natural.
I think Python will be involved in such creations or algorithms. Does SSML also have some connection with this?

If anyone has insight can he/she share the information?

Any other technologies/languages that is intertwined in such technology writeups?

Have you looked at https://responsivevoice.org/?

Sir, thanks for your Input, but that is the end finished product. what if we want to build such independent technology w/o using 3rd party API?

Are you asking whether anyone knows of a text-to-speech program that is in the process of being programmed that will be free?

[codeispoetry]

That may be a better way to say: Open source. Or would it be possible to write such AI in Python by using some existing library.

@coothead has a good demo on his site

Text To Speech

I’m trying out text to speech using window.speechSynthesis.getVoices(). Please look at my code here. You will see that all I have is a button on the page and it’s supposed to say “Test!” when the button is clicked but it’s not working the first time the button is clicked. The button needs to be clicked several times for it to work. Also this works in Chrome but not work Firefox.

Does that mean this feature is inbuilt in JS?

If you look under the bonnet, it looks as though he uses the tool I gave you. In fact, you don’t need to look at the source code - he says so on the page itself.
