Simple Text-to-Speech for Scala

This is a minimalistic library based on MaryTTS. Its aim is to simplify text to speech interfaces for some of my projects.

Code example

package org.nicocavallo

import java.util.concurrent.Executors

import scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext

object PrudenceApp extends App {

  val executor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor()

  implicit val ec: ExecutionContext = ExecutionContext
    .fromExecutor(executor)

  val text = args.headOption
  text.fold(System.err.println("Missing text. Try again")) { t =>
    Prudence.speak(t.trim())
  }

  executor.shutdown()

}

Run

suknca@suknca MINGW64 /c/repo/simple-text-2-speech (master)
$ sbt "run \"Hello Nico\""

Include it in your sbt projects:

Include this lines in your project's build.sbt

resolvers += "jitpack" at "https://jitpack.io"
libraryDependencies += "com.github.nicocavallo" %% "simple-text-to-speech" % "master-SNAPSHOT"

Then use it as any other library

import org.nicocavallo.Prudence

import java.util.concurrent.Executors

import scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext

object TryIt extends App {

  val executor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor()
  
  Prudence.speak( "Hello!" )( ExecutionContext.fromExecutor(executor) )
  
  executor.shutdown()

}
