Abstract: Definition of the SPI between the Speech Synthesis API and a speech engine that |
implements the actual synthesis technology. Each voice is matched to its appropriate |
speech engine via a type code stored in the voice. |
This documentation requires an understanding of the Speech Synthesis Manager |

* VOICES |
* |
* Voices are bundles installed in DOMAIN/Library/Speech/Voices/YOUR_VOICE_NAME.SpeechVoice, where DOMAIN is one of three |
* domains: system, local, or user. |
* |
* If the voice is designed to run on Mac OS X 10.4 and earlier it must contain a VoiceDescription file at the location YOUR_VOICE_NAME.SpeechVoice/Contents/Resources/VoiceDescription. |
* The VoiceDescription file contains the voice's attributes in binary form using the struct VoiceDescription, as defined in SpeechSynthesis.h. |
* The voice's Info.plist file should also include additional voice attributes that VoiceOver uses (VoiceSupportedCharacters & VoiceIndividuallySpokenCharacters). |
* |
* If the voice will only support Mac OS X 10.5 and later, then a VoiceDescription file is not necesary and all voice attributes can be defined in the voice's Info.plist file. |
* |
* NOTE: Voice bundle names cannot contain spaces. However, the name of the voice that is specified in the |
* VoiceDescription file and displayed to the user can contain spaces. |
