2010-05-24 Jeremy Whiting (jpwhiting)
|
||
* Renamed kttsd to Jovie, merged the trayicon(kttsmgr) into the daemon(kttsd) and together
|
||
they are called jovie.
|
||
* Added org.kde.KSpeech interface for reverse compatibility with other apps
|
||
(and to match our xml file)
|
||
|
||
2010-01-09 Jeremy Whiting (jpwhiting)
|
||
* Moved kttsjobmgr into the kcm itself, no more plugin/kpart for it. Finished making the
|
||
controls on the Jobs tab apply on apply or ok click.
|
||
* Using speech-dispatcher for a while now - no more jobs in kttsd, no more sbd filter (also
|
||
no more sentence or job control from within kttsmgr).
|
||
|
||
2005-07-19 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Name kept .wav files in format kttsd-jjjjjjjj-ssssssss.wav where jjjjjjjj is the job
|
||
number zero-filled to the left and ssssssss is the sentence sequence number zero-filled
|
||
to the left.
|
||
|
||
2005-07-01 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Since ALSA plugin seems to work pretty well, enable building --without-arts and build
|
||
ALSA plugin by default (if headers found).
|
||
|
||
2005-06-25 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* The XML Transformer filter now applies itself when the root element OR doctype and appId match.
|
||
|
||
2005-06-12 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* New aKode audio plugin. Build it with ./configure --enable-kttsd-akode.
|
||
There are a couple of problems. See README players/akodeplayer/README.
|
||
* Activate rich speak (XHTML to SSML) in Konqueror plugin. To speak richly,
|
||
you must configure the xhtml2ssml_simple XML Transformer plugin.
|
||
|
||
2005-06-03 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* New ALSA audio plugin. Build it with ./configure --enable-kttsd-alsa for now.
|
||
* New Qt Rich Text to Plain Text filter by David Powell.
|
||
|
||
2005-04-30 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Change Current Sentence widget in Jobs tab to KTextEdit to avoid resizing when text does
|
||
not fit in box.
|
||
* HTML to SSML now working pretty well. Note that you must
|
||
1. Have Festival 1.95 installed.
|
||
2. Have rab_diphone voice installed.
|
||
3. Have xsltproc installed.
|
||
4. If you have Festival Talker configured, reconfigure it (Edit) so that it will detect
|
||
if you have rab_diphone voice installed. You must hit the Apply button.
|
||
5. Enable XML Transformer filter and point it to xhtml2ssml_simple.xsl stylesheet.
|
||
6. Right now, only speaks HTML from Konqi if you paste HTML from clipboard.
|
||
Speak button in Konqi not yet enabled until I get some confidence it is working well.
|
||
|
||
2005-04-23 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Break sentences longer than 600 characters into shorter sentences by changing comma to
|
||
period. This prevents Festival from droning on lower and lower in tone until it is
|
||
unintelligible or crashes.
|
||
|
||
2005-04-22 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* If resumeText is called on a speaking job, do not restart it.
|
||
|
||
2005-04-21 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* New Hungarian Hadifix (mbrola and txt2pho) voice available at
|
||
http://tkltrans.sourceforge.net/
|
||
Since Hungarian requires ISO 8859-2 character encoding, added encoding option to
|
||
Hadifix plugin. Also, Hadifix plugin auto-selects a voice matching the user's
|
||
chosen language.
|
||
* Abbreviate USA and UK country names to save space.
|
||
* Display male/female icons in Festival Interactive configuration dialog.
|
||
* Use new Select Talker dialog in Talker Chooser filter.
|
||
|
||
2005-04-17 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Actions to be taken on notifications may now be specified at three levels
|
||
Specific event of specific application
|
||
All other events of specific application
|
||
All other events
|
||
* When the last event of an application is deleted, delete the app from
|
||
Notifications list.
|
||
|
||
2005-04-12 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Enhanced notification options. Ability to customize each application event.
|
||
* Enhanced Talker chooser for notifications and Job Manager.
|
||
* Fix bug in Talker matching algorithm.
|
||
|
||
2005-03-18 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Added --systray cmdline option to KTTSMgr, which causes it to start minimized in system
|
||
tray.
|
||
* Added --autoexit cmdline option to KTTSMgr, which causes it to exit when no longer
|
||
speaking any text jobs.
|
||
* Added AutoStartManager and AutoExitManager options to config. These cause kttsd
|
||
to automatically start KTTSMgr when a text job starts, and automatically exit
|
||
KTTSMgr when all text jobs have finished speaking.
|
||
|
||
2005-03-16 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Bug fix. Interruption messages are spoken using the Talker of the interrupting message.
|
||
So if default Talker is en, and you do sayMessage "Guten Tag" "de", the "Text Interrupted.
|
||
Message" is spoken using German Talker. Interruption messages should speak using the
|
||
default Talker.
|
||
|
||
2005-03-13 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Bug. SBD Filter turned off by default. Not good!
|
||
* When running kttsd and no Talkers or Filters have been configured, automatically
|
||
attempt to configure them. Try to configure a Talker in the user's desktop language
|
||
and if that doesn't work, in English. Automatically configure the Standard
|
||
Sentence Boundary Detector.
|
||
|
||
2005-03-12 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Change toolbar buttons on Jobs tab to push buttons so they can be used from keyboard.
|
||
Clean up screen layout and add WhatsThis help.
|
||
* Added sayText convenience method to kspeech.h, which combines setText and startText
|
||
into a single call. Be sure to update kdelibs/interfaces/kspeech before attempting to
|
||
compile kttsd:
|
||
cd kdelibs/interfaces/kspeech
|
||
cvs up
|
||
make install
|
||
* When starting or restoring KTTSMgr, defaults to Jobs tab if visible.
|
||
* When clicking on Jobs tab, warn user if there are config changes not yet saved.
|
||
|
||
2005-03-09 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Add Hold and Resume items to systray menu.
|
||
|
||
2005-03-06 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Consolidated all the translation catalogues into single catalog called "kttsd".
|
||
|
||
2005-03-05 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Add support for Kiswahili, Zulu, and Ibibio Festival languages. Get them at
|
||
http://www.llsti.org/index.htm. Note that Ibibio does not have an assigned two-letter
|
||
(iso 639) code, so I gave it Zulu (zu), which is probably as bad as saying that English
|
||
is French, but it cannot be helped. The Ibibio and Zulu voices will only speak valid
|
||
Ibibio or Zulu text, so the Test button is non-functional for them until translators
|
||
provide translations.
|
||
|
||
2005-03-02 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* BUG:100600 Fix for messages and warnings not spoken when text job is paused.
|
||
* Bug. Talker Chooser claims it can autoconfigure itself, but it cannot really.
|
||
* Allow to remove any Filter.
|
||
|
||
2005-02-17 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Remove festival/ and festivalcs/ plugins from source tree. AFAIK, these plugins don't work
|
||
and nobody is using them. And these are confusing packagers who think we have a build
|
||
dependency on Festival and Speech Tools libraries. Use festivalint/.
|
||
|
||
2005-02-15 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Translations now working.
|
||
* Include a copy of kdelibs/interfaces/kspeech in compat/ dir. This permits distribution
|
||
and compilation of KTTS for KDE less than 3.4.
|
||
* Support for Italian voices. Download from
|
||
http://www.csrf.pd.cnr.it/TTS/It-FESTIVAL-download.htm.
|
||
or http://mirko.lilik.it/Italian-FESTIVAL.zip
|
||
|
||
2005-02-05 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Version bumped to 0.3.0.
|
||
* Russian Festival voice added to voices file. Download voice from
|
||
http://nshmyrev.narod.ru/festival/festival.html. Must have Festival 1.95 beta or later.
|
||
Untar to festival/lib/voices/russian/ directory. Encoding must be one of the
|
||
single-byte cryllics, such as KOI8-R.
|
||
* Ability to load/save Talker Chooser and XML Transformer configurations.
|
||
* Some bug fixes related to Filters.
|
||
|
||
2005-01-24 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Add Talker Chooser Filter.
|
||
* Add option on Audio tab to preserve generated audio files by copying to user-specified
|
||
directory.
|
||
|
||
2005-01-22 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Allow filtering of notifications. (only setText and appendText are currently filtered.)
|
||
* Fix bug. Synchronous filters not being run.
|
||
|
||
2005-01-21 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Sentence Boundary Detector plugin now active. This means that SSML is parsed into
|
||
sentences and therefore can be rewound/advanced by sentence. It also means that
|
||
KTTS no longer crashes (taking KDE and X11 with it) on large HTML/SSML files.
|
||
* Filters can be applied based on the DCOP Application ID of app that queued the text
|
||
job.
|
||
* Filters can be applied based on language of Talker.
|
||
* StringReplacer filter can now load and save word lists to/from external file.
|
||
* Several other bug fixes.
|
||
|
||
2005-01-13 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* FilterMgr class now implemented in kttsd, which means that filters now work. Well
|
||
almost. See TODO file for some nasty problems. (Hint: avoid large HTML/SSML pages!)
|
||
* Moved the TalkerCode matching and Talker plugins to TalkerMgr class so both
|
||
Speaker and SpeechData classes can access them.
|
||
|
||
2005-01-09 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Epos plugin defaults to ISO 8859-2 encoding. Pass encoded text to Epos client
|
||
via Stdin rather than command line to avoid encoding problem.
|
||
* Added encoding parameter to kspeech::setFile method. This allows for speaking a
|
||
file that is encoded different from global desktop default.
|
||
|
||
2005-01-07 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Start to Filters capability. StringReplacer Filter implemented in KTTSMgr GUI,
|
||
but not yet implemented in kttsd.
|
||
|
||
2004-12-31 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* In KTTSD, if user has not yet configured any Talkers, prompt user and if they click
|
||
Yes, run KTTSMgr. User has option to turn off prompt.
|
||
* Activate kspeech::showDialog() method.
|
||
* The khmtlktts plugin automatically senses if KTTSD is installed and if not,
|
||
hides menu item.
|
||
|
||
2004-12-30 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Set LANG and LC_CTYPE environment variables before starting subprocess in Epos and
|
||
and Command plugins. Fix encoding bug in Epos plugin. Move common encoding routines
|
||
to PluginProc.
|
||
|
||
2004-12-27 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Add encoding option to Festival Interactive Plugin. When choosing a voice, default the
|
||
encoding option based on voices file.
|
||
* Add support for Polish Festival.
|
||
|
||
2004-12-21 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Require GStreamer 0.8.5 or above in configure.in.in. SuSE 9.2 users have
|
||
GStreamer 0.8.0, which causes KTTSMgr to immediately crash on startup.
|
||
|
||
2004-12-20 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* kdenonbeta/kttsd moved to kdeaccessibility/kttsd.
|
||
* kdenonbeta/kttsd/libktts moved to kdelibs/interfaces/kspeech. libktts dropped.
|
||
* kdenonbeta/app-plugins/khtml-plugin moved to kdebase/konqueror/kttsplugin.
|
||
* kdenonbeta/app-plugins/kate-plugin moved to kdebase/kate/plugins/ktts.
|
||
* kdenonbeta/app-plugins/katepart-plugin moved to kdebase/kate/plugin/katepartktts.
|
||
|
||
2004-12-19 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Change Festival voices from ini to xml format. Permit translators to translate voice names.
|
||
* Add "--enable-kttsd-gstreamer" option to configure, defaulting to no.
|
||
Warn packagers not to distribute gstreamer in binary packages of kdeaccessibility as it
|
||
creates unwanted dependencies.
|
||
|
||
2004-12-18 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Remove kcmkttsmgr. Use kcmkttsd instead.
|
||
|
||
2004-12-14 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Under KDE 3.2, FestivalInt plugin automatically finding /usr/share/festival, rather
|
||
than /usr/bin/festival.
|
||
|
||
2004-12-12 Release 0.2.0. First public release.
|
||
|
||
2004-12-09 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Require GStreamer >= 0.8.7.
|
||
* Bug. Always using default GStreamer sink in KTTSD. Honor user's choice now.
|
||
|
||
2004-12-07 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Add Festival Czech voice.
|
||
* Apply some Juk patches to GStreamerPlayer.
|
||
|
||
2004-12-06 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Initial, but primitive support for SSML with Hadifix.
|
||
|
||
2004-12-03 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Audio players are now plugins. This permits distribution of binary packages
|
||
without GStreamer being a mandatory dependency.
|
||
|
||
2004-12-02 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Bypass stretching (overall Speed setting) when utterance contains SSML. sox
|
||
mangles SSML pitch settings.
|
||
|
||
2004-12-01 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Some code reorganization. New TalkerCode object in libkttsd.
|
||
* Better Talker selection dialog when changing Talker in Jobs tab.
|
||
|
||
2004-11-29 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* When clicking Test button, now honors users output method (arts or gstreamer) and
|
||
overall Audio Speed setting.
|
||
* Add option for GStreamer output sink.
|
||
|
||
2004-11-27 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Extremely rudimentary support for SSML/Sable using FestivalInt plugin. If it works for
|
||
you, it will be minor miracle.
|
||
* In FestivalInt configuration dialog, do not enable OK button if EXE Path is invalid.
|
||
* When Editing existing FestivalInt configuration, do not inadvertently change the selected
|
||
voice when rescanning.
|
||
* In FestivalInt configuration dialog, disable voice combo box until scan has been clicked.
|
||
|
||
2004-11-26 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Slight throughput improvement by eliminating pause at start of each Festival utterance.
|
||
* Bug fix. Can find synthesizers when HOME env variable is in the path.
|
||
|
||
2004-11-25 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Add Finnish Male voice (http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/suopuhe/download/)
|
||
* Improve throughput slightly by emitting Text Started signal after playback has begun.
|
||
|
||
2004-11-24 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Add overall Speed control to KTTSMgr Audio tab. This permits to speed up speech
|
||
even if the synth does not support it. Must have sox installed for this to work.
|
||
* Add Speed and Pitch controls to Epos plugin. Also set language.
|
||
* Better Speed adjustment for HTS voices.
|
||
|
||
2004-11-23 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Add support for OGI English and Spanish voices.
|
||
* Update Handbook.
|
||
* Better Spanish translations for voice names.
|
||
|
||
2004-11-22 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Add support for IMS German Festival.
|
||
* Update Handbook.
|
||
|
||
2004-11-21 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Add volume control to Festival Interactive.
|
||
* Accelerators for Festival Interactive configuration dialog.
|
||
* HTS voices only support Volume (not Speed or Pitch)
|
||
* Talker Codes reflect volume setting.
|
||
|
||
2004-11-20 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Add pitch control to Festival Interactive.
|
||
* GStreamer plugin.
|
||
|
||
2004-11-17 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Bug fix. Hosed Talker in KTTSMgr after removing a Talker and clicking Cancel.
|
||
* In KTTSMgr no longer record LastTalkerID in config file; compute at load time instead.
|
||
* Change Talker tab in KTTSMgr to "standard" layout.
|
||
* Bug fix. Talker matching. Tended to pick last talker no matter what.
|
||
|
||
2004-11-13 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Fix. Nothing happens when clicking Configure button for Festival Interactive
|
||
plugin if your desktop language is not English. Display translated name for
|
||
Synthesizer in Talkers tab.
|
||
* Display translated words for "male", "female", "neutral", "fast", "slow", "medium",
|
||
"loud", "soft" in KTTSMgr Talkers list and from Jobs "Change Talker" button.
|
||
* getTalkers() not returning country code as part of Talker Code.
|
||
* The Command plugin configuration dialog should enable OK button if %t or %f
|
||
appear in command, or "Send data via stdin" is checked. Also uncheck this option
|
||
by default in order for plugin to sense proper configuration.
|
||
* Add Jorge Luis Arzola to credits as tester.
|
||
|
||
2004-11-11 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Support for Festival 2.0. and Festival MultiSyn voices in FestivalInt plugin.
|
||
* Query Festival for available voices, rather than scanning for directories.
|
||
* Support for multiple versions of Festival executable. Now asks for EXE path rather
|
||
than voices path.
|
||
* Allow preload of Festival voices that take a long time to load.
|
||
If set, Festival is started when KTTSD starts and the voice is loaded.
|
||
* When stopText() is called and FestivalInt plugin is synthing (not saying) using
|
||
a pre-loaded voice, instead of killing Festival, which would cost hugely in
|
||
re-startup time, Festival is allowed to finish synthing and result is discarded.
|
||
This improves performance when rewinding/fastforwarding.
|
||
* Corrected FestivalInt voices file as to voice descriptions and languages.
|
||
Added MultiSyn voices.
|
||
* Added accelerators and WhatsThis help to FestivalInt, Command, Epos, Flite, and Hadifix
|
||
configuration dialogs.
|
||
* Added modal, cancelable, progress dialog while Testing in FestivalInt, Command, Epos,
|
||
Flite, FreeTTS, and Hadifix configuration dialogs.
|
||
This prevents a crash when user clicks OK or Cancel before test has completed.
|
||
* Command plugin always displays configuration dialog when added, i.e., never
|
||
autoconfigs.
|
||
* Speed adjustment disabled when using MultiSyn Festival voices.
|
||
* Allow KTTSMgr screen to be resized to minimum size. Allow splitter to resize jobs
|
||
ListView to minimum vertical size.
|
||
* No longer attempt to build Festival plugin (static linking to Festival/Speech Tools
|
||
libaries). User must explicitly request via ./configure --enable-kttsd-festival.
|
||
Code is woefully behind, I cannot get it to work, and probably wouldn't work
|
||
anymore even if I could get it to link and get past crash on first call to library.
|
||
FestivalInt seems to work just fine..grc.
|
||
|
||
2004-11-10 Paul Giannaros (Cerulean)
|
||
* getTalkerCodes() returning corrupted talker codes.
|
||
|
||
2004-11-04 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Add English languages to FreeTTS desktop file so they show up in Add Talker dialog.
|
||
* When starting kttsmgr, if no Talkers are configured, default to Talker page.
|
||
* In kttsmgr, uncheck and disable Enable TTS checkbox until at least one Talker
|
||
has been configured. Once at least one Talker is added, enable the checkbox.
|
||
If all Talkers are removed, uncheck and disable the box and stop KTTSD.
|
||
* Give kttsmgr window an icon.
|
||
* Add option to embed KTTSMgr in the system tray.
|
||
|
||
2004-11-03 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Add ability to configure more than one plugin for a language, but with different
|
||
voices. Call them "talkers".
|
||
* Improve language selection and management in the KTTSD's configuration. Languages
|
||
added shouldn't be shown in the list of languages to add. Default languages should
|
||
show only the current languages. Languages should be shown as names and not codes.
|
||
Languages should be erased from the default language combo box. If a plugin does
|
||
not support a language, it should not be choosable.
|
||
* Add support for moving a text job to a different talker (language/plugin).
|
||
* Standarize the .desktop files
|
||
|
||
2004-10-20 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* kcm_kttsmgr and kcm_kttsd are now identical libraries/KCModules.
|
||
Applications should use kcm_kttsd. When all apps have stopped
|
||
using kcm_kttsmgr, remove it.
|
||
|
||
2004-10-19 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||

* libktts is now a versioned shared library. You may need to remove the
|
||
unversioned library, ie.

|
||
* FreeTTS plugin.
|
||
|
||
2004-08-28 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* GStreamer player added. Doesn't work right now because gstreamer 0.6
|
||
has issues with wav files. Try again when KDE bindings (gst) have been
|
||
updated to gstreamer 0.8.
|
||
* If jobNum parameter in dcop calls is 0, default to last job queued by the
|
||
application, or if no such job, the current job (instead of last job).
|
||
* After call to stopText, if there more speakable jobs in the queue, they begin
|
||
speaking.
|
||
* Emit textPaused and textStopped signals as documented.
|
||
* Fix bug in festivalint plugin. Hangs sometimes with short utterances caused
|
||
by writing to Stdin before Stdin buffer is empty.
|
||
* Better sentence parsing.
|
||
* Minor fixes to kttsjobmgrpart.
|
||
|
||
2004-08-09 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Remove requirement to copy pluginconf.h to $KDEDIR/include when running designer
|
||
against plugin configuration widgets.
|
||
* Epos plugin not listing codecs.
|
||
* Some plugins listing codecs multiple times.
|
||
* Select and ensure default language visible when first displaying kttsmgr.
|
||
* Auto select and prepare Properties tab when adding a new language in kttsmgr.
|
||
|
||

|
||
* Add plugin for Epos TTS Synthesis System (czech and slovak).
|
||
|
||
2004-08-07 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Existing release marked with tag ktts-0-1.
|
||
* New version of KTTS is 0.2.
|
||
* Many changes to KTTSD and the KTTSD plugins.
|
||
* QThreads have been mostly eliminated, which were causing anomalies.
|
||
* See libkttsd/pluginproc.h for the new plugin API. The new API is backwards
|
||
compatible to the old API.
|
||
* Plugins now perform synthesis separate from audibilizing, but they may do
|
||
both if needed. If a plugin supports separate synthesis, it returns True
|
||
in supportsSynth() method.
|
||
* If a plugin supports separate synthesis, KTTSD sends the synthesized audio file
|
||
to aRts for playback. The playback code has been designed with future
|
||
alternate playback plugins in mind, example gstreamer. (The code was adapted
|
||
from Juk with minor changes.)
|
||
* Plugins may work asynchronously, provide status via state() method and emit
|
||
signals when an operation has completed. If a plugin supports asynchronous
|
||
operation, it returns True in supportsAsync() method.
|
||
* If a plugin does not support asynchronous operation, it is wrapped in a QThread,
|
||
which is the same as before. See threadedplugin.h/cpp.
|
||
* Because playback is separate from synthesis and plugins work asynchronously,
|
||
pauseText or stopText _immediately_ pause or stop playback in mid-sentence.
|
||
* New plugin, flite, added for direct support of Festival Lite.
|
||
* The festivalint, command, and hadifax plugins were rewritten to support
|
||
these new capabilities.
|
||
* Need someone to rework the freetts plugin. I don't have JVM.
|
||
* Each plugin (except festival and freetts) now has a "Test" button on the
|
||
configuration dialog.
|
||
* The option to play a sound on text interruption now works.
|
||
|
||
2004-07-10 Gary Cramblitt (PhantomsDad)
|
||
* Warn user if festival not installed.
|
||
* Install voices data file for festival interactive plugin even if
|
||
festival plugin not installed.
|
||
|
||

|
||
* Lots of changes:
|
||
* Defined the KDE Text-to-speech API. See /libktts/kspeech.h.
|
||
* Moved all the GUI stuff out of KTTSD into kttsmgr. KTTSD is a pure non-GUI deamon now.
|
||
* Added text job manager as a KPart (kttsjobmgr) for GUI interface.
|
||
* Replaced existing configuration manager (kcmkttsd) with kcmkttsmgr, which includes kttsjobmgr.
|
||
* Fixed several typos and minor bugs.
|
||
* Fixed Kate and KHTML Plugins.
|
||
* Updated README, TODO and this file.
|
||
*
|
||
* IMPORTANT note to developers using KTTSD: The startText, stopText, resumeText DCOP
|
||
* methods now take a jobNum argument, which you can code as 0 to operate against the last text
|
||
* job your app queued. See /plugins/kate-plugin/katekttsd.cpp for example, or /libktts/kspeech.h.
|
||
|
||
