N70

Text to speech in Nokia/S60. All your voices are belong to us

Latest S60 devices from Nokia (starting from N70 and N90) include speaker independent name dialing (SIND) and enhanced voice commands. You don't have to train your phone voice dialing anymore. To make a call you simply need to push the voice key and say the name from the phonebook.

SIND feature is closed for third party developers. However, there is a shortcut for using the Text-to-Speech part of SIND. You can make your phone synthesize a piece of arbitrary text by passing a specially formed descriptor to the CMdaAudioPlayerUtility.


iPlayer->OpenDesL( _L8( "(tts)Say this" ) );

Preprocessing the incoming message

Start this code example (ready to install sis file included) and while the demo program is running all the incoming messages will be appended with the ".Changed" text.


For emulator trials, the demo program has an option to simulate the incoming message.
