Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install speech-dispatcher on CentOS 8.
What is speech-dispatcher
- Common interface to different TTS engines * Handling concurrent synthesis requests – requests may come asynchronously from multiple sources within an application and/or from more different applications. * Subsequent serialization, resolution of conflicts and priorities of incoming requests * Context switching – state is maintained for each client connection independently, event for connections from within one application. * High-level client interfaces for popular programming languages * Common sound output handling – audio playback is handled by Speech Dispatcher rather than the TTS engine, since most engines have limited sound output capabilities. speech-dispatcher 0.8.8 6.el8 x86_64 761 k speech-dispatcher-0.8.8-6.el8.src.rpm appstream To provide a high-level device independent layer for speech synthesis http GPLv2+ and GPLv2 * Common interface to different TTS engines * Handling concurrent synthesis requests – requests may come asynchronously from multiple sources within an application and/or from more different applications. * Subsequent serialization, resolution of conflicts and priorities of incoming requests * Context switching – state is maintained for each client connection independently, event for connections from within one application. * High-level client interfaces for popular programming languages * Common sound output handling – audio playback is handled by Speech Dispatcher rather than the TTS engine, since most engines have limited sound output capabilities.
