Newest package in the old version Qt

maratk1n

I'm trying to connect QTextToSpeecheech in Qt 5.6.1.
Can I do this without fully installing the new version Qt?
Thanks.

SGaist

Hi,

You can clone the module and build it with the version of Qt you are using.

maratk1n

@SGaist thank for your answer.
I downloaded submodule qtspeech-opensource-src-5.9.0, unpacked to C:\Qt\Qt5.6.1\5.6\mingw49_32\include\QtTextToSpeech. Now I can include libraries

#include <QtTextToSpeech/QTextToSpeech>

I'm trying to start an example of work. The following is written in the .pro file:

QT += core gui widgets texttospeech

But I'm getting an error

Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: texttospeech

Also after adding texttospeech can't include <QApplication> (no such file)

hi @maratk1n,

it seems you simply extracted the archive in the Qt folder. That doesn't work. you need to extract it to a separate folder an then build the module. after building call make install to integrate the binaries into your Qt installation.

Then you should be able to use the module.

Regards

@aha_1980
Yes, I just extracted it. Then I found some information about how to do it, but did not find the exact instructions. Could you please briefly describe the procedure?
I did this:

hi @maratk1n,

calling qmake and make is surely correct.

I don't know from where the error comes, maybe the module just needs a newer Qt version.

maratk1n

@aha_1980
So also tried it.

c:\Users\T560\Downloads\qtspeech-opensource-src-5.9.0>C:\Qt\Qt5.6.1\5.6\mingw49_32\bin\qmake.exe

c:\Users\T560\Downloads\qtspeech-opensource-src-5.9.0>make

@maratk1n,

no, I meant how you did call the build tools was correct. I cant tell you where the build error originates.

SGaist

Did you start a MinGW enabled command line to build that volume ?

You can also open it in Qt Creator and build it from there.

maratk1n

@SGaist
And so, I opened the project qtspeech-opensource-src-5.9.0.pro in Qt Creator.
I get an error

flite/flite.h: No such file or directory
 #include <flite/flite.h>
                         ^

I suspect that in the future there will be errors related to the lack of sapi.h, atlbase.h.
I solved the problem with the sapi, but for the ATL I will have to install the visual studio, which I do not want to do.
Now I use Qt 5.6.1 MinGW

SGaist

You might what to try with a more recent version. You should check with the 5.11 branch.

By the way, do you have flite installed ?

maratk1n

@SGaist
I hardly installed a new Qt, engines and voices. But there was a problem:
If I run from the Qt Creator, everything works fine. But I tried to start directly, having previously collected the libraries with windeployqt.exe. There is no sound for some reason .. The app does not see a single voice

SGaist

What exact error do you get ?

maratk1n

@SGaist
I run the application without Qt Creator, so I can not get the debug output. The application works without errors, just a list of votes is empty (I bring this list to the QComboBox).
But if I run the same program through Creator, the list of votes is full.

SGaist

How are you filing that QComboBox ?

maratk1n

@SGaist

QVector<QVoice> m_voices = speech.getAvailableVoices();
QVoice currentVoice = speech.getVoice();
foreach (const QVoice &voice, m_voices) {
    ui->speechVoices->addItem(QString("%1 - %2 - %3").arg(voice.name())
                      .arg(QVoice::genderName(voice.gender()))
                      .arg(QVoice::ageName(voice.age())));
    if (voice.name() == currentVoice.name())
        ui->speechVoices->setCurrentIndex(ui->speechVoices->count() - 1);
}

class SpeechWorker:

// .h

#ifndef SPEECHWORKER_H
#define SPEECHWORKER_H

#include <QtTextToSpeech>
#include <QLocale>

class SpeechWorker
{
    QTextToSpeech m_speech;
public:
    SpeechWorker();
    ~SpeechWorker() {}
    void say(const QString &text, bool stopPrevious = false){
        if (stopPrevious)
            m_speech.stop();
        m_speech.say(text);
    }
    QVector<QVoice> getAvailableVoices(){
        return m_speech.availableVoices();
    }
    QVoice getVoice(){
        return m_speech.voice();
    }
    void setVoice(int index){
        if((m_speech.availableVoices().size() < index) || (index < 0))
            return;
        m_speech.setVoice(m_speech.availableVoices().at(index));
    }
};
extern SpeechWorker speech;
#endif // SPEECHWORKER_H

// .cpp
#include "speechworker.h"

SpeechWorker speech;

SpeechWorker::SpeechWorker()
{
    m_speech.setLocale(QLocale(QLocale::Russian, QLocale::RussianFederation));
    m_speech.setRate(0.4); //скорость от -1 до 1
    m_speech.setPitch(0.2); //высота голоса от -1 до 1
    m_speech.setVolume(1.0); //громкость от 0 до 1
}

I noticed an interesting thing. I put the file hello_speak.exe from example next to my executable file and dll's, it works fine.

maratk1n

So, what can I do wrong? :(

SGaist

You can start your application with the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS environment variable set to 1 to see if there's any information about that plugin that might be useful.

maratk1n

@SGaist
I did

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include <QApplication>


int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    qputenv("QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS", QByteArray("1"));

    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    app.setApplicationDisplayName("ПАЗИ-100");
    QFont font = app.font();
    font.setPointSize(13);
    app.setFont(font);
    MainWindow w;
    //w.setWindowFlags(Qt::CustomizeWindowHint);
    w.show();
    return app.exec();
}

But he did not receive any messages. As before, my application does not see voices, and the application hello_speak.exe, which is in the same directory, sees everything fine.

SGaist

Are you starting the application from the command line ?

If the other one is working, you should compare your code with it to see if you are doing something different.
