SAPI : change Voice

[Danielmaximiliano]

hello Jimmy

hi,

Code: Select all  Expand view

  oSpVoice:EventInterests := SVEAllEvents + SVEAudioLevel

but how to get Event to call Function like in MSDN Sample ?
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/ms723593(v=vs.85)

I am reading and reading about how to know that the "Word" event has happened, just for now I am interested in the phoneme or word
applying

Code: Select all  Expand view

oNarrator                := CreateObject( "Sapi.SPVoice" , "WithEvents" )
oNarrator:EventInterests := SVEPhoneme
oNarrator:Speak( Main.RichEdit_1.VALUE, SVSFlagsAsync)
While ..
...
end

When sending the text to the TTS engine it should know if that event happened but I can't find a way to know yet since there is no real example of how it works.

Dear Jimmy,

Those are the different events info!

Please post here the exact code you are using and I will help you to process them

[Antonio Linares]

Never mind, I got the events working here!

Now lets analize them...

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Great!

[Antonio Linares]

Simply add this line at the top:

static aEvents := {}

and then use this:

oVoice:__hSink = __axRegisterHandler( oVoice:__hObj, { | ... | AAdd( aEvents, { ... } ) } )

Finally, after the dialog, do:

XBrowser( aEvents )

[Antonio Linares]

IMO the reason why we were not getting the events was that we were not using a window/dialog in the example

As soon as we have tested it with a dialog, the events arrive!

hi,

i "think" we need a RTF Control to use

Code: Select all  Expand view

  oGetText:SetSel({StreamPosition , StreamPosition + Length})
   oGetText:SetFocus()

to get this Effect ( not perfect ) using HMG Syntax and RTF

a Get / MGet will highlight hole Control when get Focus

but i do not know how to change *.RC from EDITTEXT into RTF (?)
who can help me please

[Antonio Linares]

Dear Jimmy,

Can you share the RC for your example ? In case you are using a RC file...

My mistake: the difference with events is NOT a handle of a window. The difference is to play in ASYNC mode !!!

oVoice:Speak( "harbour and xharbour", 1 ) // that 1 uses Async mode and thus events arrive to us !!!

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Can I see a working sample, please?

[Antonio Linares]

Dear Enrico,

Here you have it:

Code: Select all  Expand view

#include "FiveWin.ch"

static aEvents := {}

function Main()

    local oVoice := TOleAuto():New( "Sapi.SPVoice" )
   
    oVoice:__hSink = __axRegisterHandler( oVoice:__hObj, { | ... | AAdd( aEvents, { ... } ) } )
 
    oVoice:Speak( "hello my friend", 1 )  // 1 means asynch so events can arrive. Instead of 1, 3 can be used to cancel what is being said and start again in asynch mode
    MsgInfo( "waiting" ) // we wait and process windows messages so events can arrive

    XBrowser( aEvents )
 
 return nil

[Antonio Linares]

Events and meanings:

1 --> Start
3 --> An OLE object is received, probably self OLE object ?
5 --> Word, 4th param is position, 5th param is length
6 --> ???
7 --> Sentence, 4th param is position, 5th param is length
8 --> ???
2 --> End

Thank you.

hi Antonio,

thx for the Idea.

Result is same like using Property "Voice"

Error description: (DOS Error -2147352573) WINOLE/1007 Argument error: VOICE
Args:
[ 1] = O

Stack Calls
===========
Called from: => TOLEAUTO:VOICE( 0 )
Called from: main.prg => CHANGEVOICE( 125 )
Called from: main.prg => (b)MAIN( 43

mi solunción

Code: Select all  Expand view

Function ChangeVoice()  //cambiar voz desde un doble click sobre la lista de narradores
local nGrid   := Main.List_1.Value
local cName := aAvoice [ nGrid , 1 ]
Local oVoice
 /* oNarrator:voice   := oNarrator:GetVoices():Item( nGrid - 1)  // Fumciona
    oNarrator:Speak( "Narrador " + cName, SVSFlagsAsync )          */
  For Each oVoice In oNarrator:GetVoices()                      
     If (oVoice:GetDescription(0) == Main.List_1.item(Main.List_1.Value))
      oNarrator:voice := oVoice        
      oNarrator:Speak( "Narrador " + cName, SVSFlagsAsync )
     endif
  Next 

RETURN

Hola Jimmy :
Leyendo creo que se necesita la propiedad "Status" https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/ms723612(v=vs.85)
pero no consigo descifrar bien el uso aqui https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/ms722534(v=vs.85)

Code: Select all  Expand view

Function Play()
local  nStreamNumber , nStreamPosition , nCharacterPosition, nLength , ISpeechVoiceStatus
 oNarrator:EventInterests := SVEPhoneme
 
 oNarrator:Speak( Main.RichEdit_1.VALUE, SVSFlagsAsync)
 ISpeechVoiceStatus := oNarrator:Status  
     
      DO WHILE .not. ISpeechVoiceStatus:RunningState == SRSEDone
               
               nCharacterPosition := ISpeechVoiceStatus:InputWordPosition
               nLength            := ISpeechVoiceStatus:InputWordLength
               Main.RichEditBox_1.CaretPos     := nCharacterPosition
               Main.RichEdit_1.SelectRange     := { nCharacterPosition, nLength }
               
      ENDDO
 
Return

el codigo para iluminar el tenxto del control Richtedit deberia ser parecido a esto en VBA

Code: Select all  Expand view

   V.Speak "this is stream number<bookmark mark='2two'/> two.", SVSFlagsAsync + SVSFIsXML
    List1.AddItem "LastStreamNumberQueued is " & V.Status.LastStreamNumberQueued
    DoEvents

    Do
        V.WaitUntilDone (500) 'Wait for 0.5 second so we won't get too many outputs

        List1.AddItem ""
        List1.AddItem "LastStreamNumberQueued is " & V.Status.LastStreamNumberQueued
        List1.AddItem "CurrentStreamNumber is " & V.Status.CurrentStreamNumber
        List1.AddItem "InputSentenceLength is " & V.Status.InputSentenceLength
        List1.AddItem "InputSentencePosition is " & V.Status.InputSentencePosition
        List1.AddItem "InputWordLength is " & V.Status.InputWordLength
        List1.AddItem "InputWordPosition is " & V.Status.InputWordPosition
        List1.AddItem "RunningState is " & V.Status.RunningState
        List1.AddItem "LastBookmark is " & V.Status.LastBookmark
        List1.AddItem "LastBookmarkId is " & V.Status.LastBookmarkId
        List1.AddItem "VisemeId is " & V.Status.VisemeId
        List1.AddItem "PhonemeId is " & V.Status.PhonemeId
        List1.AddItem "LastHResult is " & V.Status.LastHResult
        DoEvents

    Loop Until V.Status.RunningState = SRSEDone 'Exit when voice stops

hi Antonio,

Events and meanings:

1 --> Start
3 --> An OLE object is received, probably self OLE object ?
5 --> Word, 4th param is position, 5th param is length
6 --> ???
7 --> Sentence, 4th param is position, 5th param is length
8 --> ???
2 --> End

thx for your List f Event meaning, now it work (almost) perfect

Code: Select all  Expand view

  oSpVoice:__hSink := __axRegisterHandler( oSpVoice:__hObj, { | a,b,c,d,e | OnEvent( a,b,c,d,e ) } )


FUNCTION OnEvent()
LOCAL iMax  := PCOUNT()
LOCAL i
LOCAL aPara := ARRAY(5)

   FOR i := 1 TO iMax
     aPara[i] := PValue( i ) ) )
   NEXT

   DO CASE
     CASE aPara[1] = 2
         OffSet := aPara[3]
         oSpVoice_Word(aPara[2],aPara[3],0, 0)
      CASE aPara[1] = 5
         oSpVoice_Word(aPara[2],aPara[3],aPara[4], aPara[5])
   ENDCASE
RETURN NIL

PROCEDURE oSpVoice_Word(StreamNumber, StreamPosition , CharacterPosition , Length )
   oGetText:SetSel({CharacterPosition , CharacterPosition + Length})
   oGetText:SetFocus()
   SYSRefresh()
RETURN

but as i say : it need a RTF in *.RC to show highlight Word
