Hi! I have a problem, when I run the following script in my emulator:
---------------------------------------------------------------
import appuifw, audio
text = appuifw.query(u"Type a word:", "text")
audio.say(text)
---------------------------------------------------------------
nothing happens, I hear no sound, but when I run it in my phone it works perfect. Also, in my emulator I can hear music. Any idea?
Thanks!

Hi,
I think it should work because it work well in phone.
One more thing, use the code tag given as '#' symbol at the top so that it maintain the tab and space.
Bye

hi BAM8

welcome to the forum nokia python discussion boards.
Ya this is the first thing i tried when i started programming for mobiles long ago. But i was failure too and made a wild guess that the sdk is not having the speech engine required to convert text 2 speech.
This is just a wild guess i am not confirmed about this.

Enjoy Pythoning

Yes, I guess gaba88 is right. I also tried using audio.say() on emulator and it doesn't work. Maybe the emulator doesn't have the phone's 'voice' for somehow. They could get this to work on next version of PyS60, maybe.


BR,

hi Rafael

i guess the problem is not on the pys60 side but its on the sdk side may be some sdk expert can throw some more light on this issue.

SDK requires a plugin to use TTS

[Rafael T.]

Yes, it is on the SDK as Croozeus said, I said that could be in PyS60 because I have never tested playing any audio there, so I thought it didn't work only in PyS60.

Thanks for the correction!

And coming back to the main issue - One reason might be that you are trying it on 2nd edition device.

Remember, TTS in PyS60, is only available from 3rd Edition device onwards...

Actually, he is saying that it works on the phone but he wanted to test it on emulator. And, as you said, a plugin is needed for using TTS on the emulator, since it's not supported by default.
