eSpeak

Sun, 05 May 2013 19:14:08 +0000

The eSpeak engine is a small, lightweight text-to-speech (TTS) program that supports a large number of languages. It has a more robotic sounding voice than other engines due to its small size (see http://espeak.sourceforge.net/samples/raven.ogg for an example of what it sounds like). The trade-off for this somewhat harsher sound is a very responsive and resource-friendly engine with voices which remain intelligible at much higher speeds than other, more human-sounding alternatives.

This is a port of eSpeak to Android for 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and later, supporting all 75 languages and accents of eSpeak (see http://reecedunn.co.uk/espeak-for-android.html for the list).

It is built on the eyes-free version, fixing multiple issues found in the eyes-free version:

1. Speech rate and pitch are correctly handled, so eSpeak on Android sounds like it does on the desktop;

2. Speech rate is set as words per minute

3. Pitch, base pitch and volume are configurable as percentages.

4. The eSpeak variant can be selected.

5. Languages are correctly selected (e.g. selecting Slovak and Slovenian, or selecting Cantonese Chinese);

6. Language names are correctly displayed (e.g. "Scottish English" is displayed as "English (United Kingdom, Scottish Standard English)" instead of "English (Saychelles)");

7. Accent and special characters are supported;

8. MIPS-based devices are supported;

9. Various memory leaks and crashes are fixed;

10. SSML is only processed if the SSML markup is wrapped in a tag.

NOTE: When enabling eSpeak, you will get a message stating "This speech synthesis engine may be able to collect all the text that will be spoken, including personal data like passwords and credit card numbers. It comes from the eSpeak engine. Enable the use of this speech synthesis engine?". This is a standard warning issued by Android devices for accessibility software that comes from an external source.

The eSpeak engine does not collect any data in the text passed to it. All the source code to the core eSpeak engine and the Android port is available for you to verify this if you are concerned.

Stable Speed Library

Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:27:45 +0000

This library provides variable speed playback for podcast players. It's exactly the same as the 'Presto Sound Library Open Beta except:

* It doesn't crash all the time
* Adds simple UI to allow playback speeds faster than 2x
* JellyBean+ devices support most audio formats, including MP3, Vorbis and AAC
* Pre-JellyBean devices only playback MP3 files
* Pre-JellyBean devices do not support streaming

It acts as a background service, and provides variable speed playback of all audio formats supported by Android MediaPlayer, this including MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and, unlike Presto, AAC.

If you already own Presto, you MUST UNINSTALL PRESTO before Stable Speed will work.

Stable Speed has been confirmed to work with :

- BeyondPod
- DoggCatcher
- PodTrapper Beta
- Akimbo

Sadly Pocket Casts has dropped support for Presto-compatible components due to the Presto's instability. If only Pocket Casts had waited for Stable Speed!

This code puts a premium on stability. If an error is detected you will be prompted to email the issue to me. Please do so!

Internet access is necessary to stream files from the Internet.

I'm sorry the screenshots aren't nicer, but there's not really a user interface, and Google insist on two screenshots!

Recent changes:
Version 14:
* More-or-less reverted to the much-loved Version 11 code.

Version 13:
* Fix seek, "currentPosition", and end-of-track detection problems.

Version 12:
* Added ability to override client-defined playback speed (for faster than 2x playback)
* Fixed rare crash on Bluetooth devices
* More "currentPosition" problems fixed.
* Native arm7 binaries

Version 11:
* Wasn't reporting 'currentPosition' accurately when pausing.
* Added link to mpg123.de
