Be sure to click the Apply button,otherwise your changes will not take effect in the running& ktts; system.
When a text job is interrupted by a Message, Warning,or Screen Reader Output,& ktts; will add the audio outputs on this screen to the stream.
In order to compile& ktts;, you must have a recent(kde; 4.4 or greater) copy of the& kde; development files, including kdelibs and the development files for speech-dispatcher.
The configuration of the& kde;Speech Service is described in detail in the KTTS Handbook.
By default, the commands above will install& ktts; to/ opt/ kde3. If this folder is not in your$KDEDIRS path, you may need to add a--prefix= target option. For example.
If the TTS option does not appear on this screen,you do not have the KTTS component installed in your system.
If you downloaded& ktts; as a tarball, log in as a normal user and untar the tarball to a suitable folder, change to that folder, and enter the following commands.
Speech-dispatcher uses a flexible plugin architecture for speech synthesis engines. If you want to enhance& ktts; to support another engine, contact the development team.
Ktts; is a subsysem within& kde; for producing Text-to-Speech(TTS). It provides a common API for& kde; programmers to give TTS capabilities to their applications. It provides some nice capabilities for end users as well.
This screen permits you to specify special actions to be taken whenever a textjob is interrupted by another, higher priority, message. There are four kinds of speech jobs that& ktts; handles.
Select the method of audio output here. If a component is is grayed, either& ktts; was compiled without that support for that audio plugin, or& ktts; was unable to load the necessary libraries.
KTTS is a& kde; application for the conversion of text into audible speech. Currently, since& kde; 3.4, you can use KTTS to speak any text from the& klipper;, the& kde; clipboard, any text from a plain text file(using& kate; or otherwise), speak any portion of text from a& HTML; page in& konqueror;, and much more.

If you have access to the& kde; code repository, you can download& ktts; by checking out the kdeaccessibility module.& ktts; will be found in the kttsd folder. You can also download tarballs of the kdeaccessibility source code from ftp://ftp. kde. org/ pub/ kde/.
Talker Choosers permit you redirect jobs to a talker based on the contents of the text,or upon the application that sent it to& ktts;. For example, if you have configured a female talker in the Talkers tab, you can direct text coming from KSayIt to that talker. See.
You are almost ready to begin using& ktts;. Now go back to the General tab and check the Enable Text-to-Speech System(KTTSD) box. This will start the& kde; TTS Daemon. See. You may now begin using& ktts; to speak text. Click the Jobs tab to create and manage text jobs. See.
Use the closest matching talker having all the attributes of a configured talker. If you do n't delete or modify the talker's settings,& ktts; will pick that specific talker. If you delete or modify the talker's settings, then& ktts; will pick the closest matching talker having the talker's original attributes.
The kdeaccessibility module includes a Text-to-Speech component called KTTS. If KTTS is installed, you can configure& kpresenter; to speak the text that is under the mouse pointer or speak the text of each screen widget as it receives focus. Before using this feature, first configure KTTS. See The KTTS Handbook for details. To turn on the TTS feature in& kpresenter;, select Settings Configure& kpresenter;... from the menubar. This will display a dialog box. Clicking TTS will allow you to change the following.
While running the& kde; Advanced Text Editor(kate;), you can speak the text displayed.First ensure that& ktts; is running. Highlight the text you want spoken and choose Tools Speak Text on the main menu. After a moment, the highlighted text should begin speaking.
String Replacer filters are a good way to clean up messages sent from applications if they are mispronounced or misspoken in& ktts;. The kmail. xml file, which comes with& ktts;, is a good example. It removes br, and b tags from the& kmail; notification messages and also removes the phrase/ local/ inbox/, since this may be safely assumed in most cases. See.
The easiest way to learn how to configure Talker Choosers is to experiment. Disable the Talker Chooser and submit some text. In the Jobs tab,note the talker that& ktts; chooses. Click the Change Talker button, enter some attributes, and try again to see how the choice is affected. Of course, you must have more than one talker configured for the Talker Chooser to do anything.
Google(tm) is your friend. This link might also help. If you find a free synthesis engine that supports your desired language, and want to add support for it to& ktts;, please contact the development team. Open source engines are especially welcome. If you know of a commercial synth, perhaps you can persuade the vendor to donate a free copy to the& ktts; development team. In the meantime, you may be able to get the synth working using speech-dispatchers command backend.
