GNOME Speech offers an uncomplicated API to create text-to-speech output easily.
If you're looking for a software that provides a simple general API for text-to-speech output, GNOME Speech is the perfect tool for you. Currently, the developers are working on the GNOME Speech 1.0 API, which includes both text-to-speech output and speech input features.
The new API will be heavily influenced by the Java Speech API, including both the existing 1.0 specification and the new 2.0 specification that is in development. If you're familiar with the Java Speech API, you can expect a similar experience with the new GNOME Speech API.
The GNOME Speech 0.4 version is composed of three essential parts: IDL interface definitions, libgnomespeech, and a convenience library for speech driver development. Additionally, there is a Java package that aids in developing GNOME Speech drivers in Java, as well as a few sample driver implementations to give you a sense of how it all works.
Overall, GNOME Speech is an effective and straightforward tool for producing text-to-speech output. If you need a software that's easy to use and provides reliable results, GNOME Speech is an excellent choice.
