Hi,
I've been told that I can use sample dictionary in the documentation
for the UseSpeechDictionary function in the Speech Synthesis Manager
Reference, but I don't seem to be able to get it to work. Any ideas on
what I might be doing wrong would be a great help.
Below is the code that I am using to read the dictionary from a XML file
speechSynth = [[NSSpeechSynthesizer alloc]
initWithVoice:@"com.apple.speech.synthesis.voice.Alex"];
[speechSynth autorelease];
NSDictionary *myDictionary = [NSDictionary
dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:@"/Users/david/Desktop/Test speech/SpeechDictionary/myDictionary"];
[speechSynth addSpeechDictionary:myDictionary];
[speechSynth startSpeakingString:@"Welcome to Ballina."];
The contains of the file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
