Speech Synthesis

[t.w()]

Hello,

First post here. I'm trying to make a children's game and I would love to use a speech synthesis module. Has anyone tried using one with lua or love? I've never used lua with c libraries so I'm obviously a bit of a newb.

Thank you

I used windows' speech synthesis a few times, using luacom.

You can write sound data directly, too, so if you wanted to write the synth yourself (in Lua), you could. There's pages out there explaining how, for example, the Speak'n'Spell synthesized its voice, which would help in that regard. You may have to fall back on this if you want cross-platform speech synth.

Thanks. I think I will just record the names of all the objects and parse it that way. Something new I can learn without getting in over my head. Maybe I can find a way to scrape the sound data off wiktionary.org.
