Hello all!

Text-to-Speech is a very useful technology for programmers. With the latest S60 phones, this technology is available to us PyS60 programmers through this new python extension: http://www2.cs.uh.edu/~nikhilv/PyS60/ttsplayer.zip

More information regarding this extension, such as background and how to use, etc., can be found at: http://geekyprojects.blogspot.com/20...n-for-s60.html

Unfortunately, this facility is not available on the emulator. You have to install it on a phone to play with it. Moreover, it might not be available on pre-S60 2.8 phones (I have not been able to confirm that - *please* try this on your pre-2.8 phones)

Best Regards,
Nikhil

Requirement : any 3rd edition S60 phone or 2nd FP3 S60 phone (only N70 and N90 !)


7610 is a 2nd edition FP1 so it doesn't match the requirement You can't use it with this phone !

[krtrivdi]

oh God.. then i will have to go for the new phone...would you pls tell me what are such things which will not run on my 7610 from python 1.3.14...Thanks for Lightening speed reply

[jplauril]

IIRC 7610 is missing text-to-speech, OpenGL ES and SVG icons from the current Python functionality.

[jplauril]

Oh yeah, do you want tips on which phone to get? Do you have to choose from a small set of operator subsidized models or are you going to get an unlocked phone?

[krtrivdi]

yes sir

in india we dont have locked phones so we can buy anyone..thanks for such a nice support..pls tell me more

[jplauril]

Okay, so I started writing a list of my opinions on all models I've tried but soon realized that would be too long. Take a look at the features and price of each model and decide for yourself. For Python use, all current 3rd edition phones are decent choices and work in a similar way.

Some random remarks:
- pre-3rd edition phones don't have Platform Security, so developing native extensions and distributing your applications is a more straightforward there
- The N70 has the biggest amount of free RAM on any Nokia phone, 34 MB.
- The N93 is the fastest of current Nokia phones because of the new HW platform, that also includes HW accelerated OpenGL ES and TV-out.
- I use E70 myself as my primary phone. It has the foldable QWERTY keyboard and otherwise is a good all-rounder featurewise.

Hello forum members.
i tried the text2speech module on the N70.
Is there a way to use other voices than the default robot-like one?
