QTextToSpeech
-
Hey!
I have experimented with QTtexttoSpeech. I have created a binary library that can be used when you want "text to speech" functionality in your program.It would be great if any of you who have experience with this plugin could share your views. Or maybe someone can benefit from what I have learned.
It does not work very well with Linux. I have tried with Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 20.04. With the Windows operating system, I think it works great.

Hi,
I see that your Linux example uses Qt 5.15.
Much work has been done to QTextToSpeech in 6.4 Beta 1.
It's worth while trying it out.
Feel free to reply in case you experience any troubles.
Cheers

Hey!
Thanks for your reply!
Yes, I downloaded the source code for Qt6.4.0 beta. Compiled it with support for "text to speech". In the new version there are more "engines" for "text to speech". And a few more features. But the speech did not get better. I suspect that the operating system's underlying capacity for speech synthesis does not work as well on Linux as on Windows.It's just my speculations. But Qt version 5.15.5 (the latest version available as open source) gave better sound than version 5.15.2. A better and more natural pronunciation. I thought.
I need to learn more about how operating systems handle speech synthesis.
