Text to speak dll

Postby arjfca » 20 Aug 2013

Hello

Anybody as ever heard about a Text to Speak dll the could be run with MC. It would be interesting to have a tool like that. I,m already using the "play" command, but these has predefined voice message. I would like it to be more versatile.

I think you can record your own .wav file (using free online or windows software) and you can record any sound that you want..

PlaySound("C:\mysound.wav");

Hello Sptrader

As mentionned, I'm already using the playsound command. I use ATT Text to speech webpage to create the message.

I'm looking for a more versatile solution. Like telling on witch scale chart an indicator as been triggered

Not exactly a TTS... but there is enough AI and flexibility to tide you over for now:

e.g.

Code: Select all

var:
sound$("");

if barinterval = 5 then
sound$ = "5min_going_up.wav"
else
if barinterval = 1 then
sound$ = "1min_going_up.wav";

If up.condition = true then
playsound( "c:\soundfiles\" + sound$ );

Hello TJ

I got about 25 already recorded similar messages. What I would like is to add some flexibility like telling witch market & time scale did the indicator has triggered. At the moment, the same message is use for all my chart. Sometime it is confusing...

Have a good day

Martin

Edit: I just seen a company who has created a Text to voice dll for TS 49.95$ USD

A friend send me this link of a Text to Voice C# code

Maybe a C# expert could addapt it to be coded as a dll for MC

// Windows 32B >> Copy 'Voice_speaker.dll' in windows\system32 folder

// Remember to release "Voice_speaker.dll" with your final project. It will be placed in the same folder as the EXE

After reading the code I guess not really what you want and even not flexible. But you could write a txt-file in EL and there are programs out there which can read it and convert it into voice. Voices are AT&T conversion tool style but it is fully flexible. When I remember right it cost like 99USD or so. But can't remember what the name was.

Sorry :)

A robot as a nicer voice than this. It look like the voice from a Comodore 64..( for the oldies)
