How can I embed Cepstral TTS into my [PHP/CGI/etc] web application?
The best way to use Cepstral voices in your web application is to make a system call to the swift command-line utility to generate an audio file on disk that you can then send or stream back to the client’s web browser. The swift utility is installed with every voice for Mac OS X, Desktop Windows, Linux, and Solaris. If your Cepstral voices were installed to the default location, the swift executable can be found at: /opt/swift/bin/swift For a complete list of usage options, run swift –help on the command line. Before adding calls to swift to your web application, we suggest that you spend some time using swift interactively on the command line to learn about its usage and features. Some common examples follow: To specify a voice by name: swift -n Callie “This is a test.” To create a .wav file: swift -o myaudiofile.wav “This is a text.” To convert text from an input file to speech in a .wav file: swift -f mytextfile.txt -o my audiofile.wav To see a listing of synthesis events correspo
