Playing a pre-recorded sound before synthesized speech.

Hi,

Is it possible to play a pre-recorded sound before playing synthesized speech?
This is what I’ve figured out so far.

I can create an OpenEarsEventsObserver object and set the delegate to object which implements.

– (void) fliteDidStartSpeaking;

However how do I used this callback method to insert/play pre recorded sound before synthesized speech.

Thanks,

–MB.

Hello,

You can play a sound whenever you like using standard AVAudioPlayer methods and their delegates. Just initiate speech once the AVAudioPlayer delegate method audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying:successfully: returns.

Thanks for the response.
I want to play the sound before synthesized speech starts playing. Is that possible? The ‘audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying:successfully:’ would only allow audio to be inserted afterwards.

Hello,

The ‘audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying:successfully:’ would only allow audio to be inserted afterwards.

Only if you start playing the AVAudioPlayer sound after the speech returns the OpenEarsEventsObserver method. If you initiate the speech as a result of the audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying:successfully: method of a sound that you play using AVAudioPlayer being called, the sound will precede the speech.
