==Examples==








Example of Phoneme Speech (download and simulation)
{{Fcfile|Speech.fcfx|Speech}}
The Phoneme based speech can be output on Microcontroller hardware using a number of methods.




PWM - Outputs using a single PWM pin, a simple external RC low pass filter can be used to remove the high frequency PWM to create an audio signal.


Parallel - Outputs using a 8-bit port, a simple 8-bit R2R DAC circuit can be used to combine the bits into an audio signal.


Other - A third option is to use the ReadByteFromPhoneme macro to pull out the phoneme values a byte at a time which can be used to pass on to an external DAC etc.




Another example of Phoneme Speech, taking a reading from an analogue channel and speaking the Voltage. (download and simulation)
{{Fcfile|Voice Meter_v6.fcfx|Talking Volt Meter}}
Example of Real Speak Speech (simulation only)
{{Fcfile|Speech2.fcfx|Speech2}}
Adding additional language packs to the Real Speak engine.

Speech (Phoneme) component

Speech component allowing Phoneme based speech for use on an embedded platform. The simulation also has an advanced speech engine allowing realistic text to speech in multiple languages using the RealSpeak voice engine.

Detailed description

No detailed description exists yet for this component

Examples

Example of Phoneme Speech (download and simulation) Speech The Phoneme based speech can be output on Microcontroller hardware using a number of methods.


PWM - Outputs using a single PWM pin, a simple external RC low pass filter can be used to remove the high frequency PWM to create an audio signal.

Parallel - Outputs using a 8-bit port, a simple 8-bit R2R DAC circuit can be used to combine the bits into an audio signal.

Other - A third option is to use the ReadByteFromPhoneme macro to pull out the phoneme values a byte at a time which can be used to pass on to an external DAC etc.


Another example of Phoneme Speech, taking a reading from an analogue channel and speaking the Voltage. (download and simulation) Talking Volt Meter

Macro reference

DisableOutput

DisableOutput
Disables the output to prevent any buzzing etc while not speaking. 
- VOID Return


EnableOutput

EnableOutput
Sets up the output to allow the speech data to be streamed out. 
- VOID Return


Ev_Start

Ev_Start
Broadcast to all components that simulation is starting 
- ULONG Return


OutputPhoneme

OutputPhoneme
Streams a single Phoneme or string of comma seperated Phonemes. OutputPhoneme("OY") OutputPhoneme("OY,AY,OY") 
- STRING DataString
 
- VOID Return


ReadByteFromPhoneme

ReadByteFromPhoneme
Reads a single byte value from the specified phoneme data array. This function will not simulate correctly as it requires C style pointers. 
- STRING Phoneme
Specifies a single Phoneme 
- UINT Idx
Specifies the position within the Phoneme 
- BYTE Return


ReadPhonemeLength

ReadPhonemeLength
Function to return the number of bytes used in a single phoneme array. 
- STRING Phoneme
Specifies a single Phoneme 
- UINT Return


Property reference

Properties
Phoneme Settings
Phoneme Selection
Selects which phonemes are included in the embedded firmware 
Phoneme Data Set
Specifies if the phonemes used are based on the inbuilt phoneme wav files set or a custom file set. To create your own phonemes, copy the wav files from the components directory, then overwrite the phonemes you wish to edit. Phonemes are re-parsed on simulation start and on compile to C. 
Pitch (Hz)
The frequency at which the phoneme data is output in bytes/samples per second. 
Phoneme Data Size
The number of bytes used by the current phoneme selection 
ROM Size
The maximum number of bytes available in the ROM of the selected target device. The ROM has to contain the program as well as the Phoneme data. 
Base ROM Address
The address in ROM to place the phoneme data. It is recomended to always use the suggested address as this will place the phonemes right at the end of ROM and away from the program. 
Suggested Address
The ideal address to allow all the selected phonemes to fit into the end of the ROM memory Thereby allowing the maximum space for the user program. 
Output Mode
Determines how the phoneme data is going to be output. 
PWM Pin
PWM channel selection used to determine which PWM peripheral to stream the Phoneme data to. 
PWM Pin
The actual port pin assigned to the selected PWM channel. 
Phoneme Selection
Select All
Selects all Phonemes 
Select None
Deselects all Phonemes
