Hi everyone-
I am just messing around with some speech stuff (expanding on
examples from Hillegass' book) and I just can't make the
willSpeakWord delegate work right. Here is my method:
-(void)speechSynthesizer:(NSSpeechSynthesizer *)sender
willSpeakWord:(NSRange)characterRange
ofString:(NSString *)myString;
{
NSLog(@"Range: %@", NSStringFromRange(characterRange));
NSLog(@"Speaking: %@", [myString substringWithRange:characterRange]);
}
my output goes like this:
2007-07-06 18:07:03.463 SpeakLine[366] Range: {0, 5}
2007-07-06 18:07:03.463 SpeakLine[366] Speaking: (null)
2007-07-06 18:07:03.785 SpeakLine[366] Range: {6, 5}
2007-07-06 18:07:03.785 SpeakLine[366] Speaking: (null)
2007-07-06 18:07:04.236 SpeakLine[366] Range: {12, 6}
The range is coming through OK, but no matter what I have tried,
the substring I am trying to get above) always comes out (null). I
have tried just putting myString (without the substring part) into
the log, but it is also (null).
Here is my init method for my controller:
-(id)init
{
[super init];
NSLog(@"init");
speechSynth = [[NSSpeechSynthesizer alloc] initWithVoice:nil];
[speechSynth setDelegate:self];
return self;
}
Any ideas for newbie me? Thank you.
Wow, that appears to be a bug. I just wrote a test app (ran under
10.4.10/Intel) and that delegate method always receives nil for the
string param. The two other delegates do work correctly (to include
speechSynthesizer:willSpeakPhoneme:)
You may want to take this question to the speech-dev list. Extremely
light traffic, but speech engineers do eventually read the posts.
Also, I'd file a bug.
If you absolutely need this functionality, you'll probably have to
step down to the Carbon speech APIs. I've had to do this myself (for
other reasons) since the Cocoa APIs do not expose the entire feature
set that Carbon gives you.
