Comments

The Currah USpeech is a voice synthetizer for the ZX Spectrum. The current API permits both a low level and an high level control, plus an hardware detection tool.

Detection

int currah_detect()

Returns TRUE if the interface is present

Control

void currah_speech(char *text)

Talk using the high level BASIC interface

void void currah_direct(char *allophones)

Talk using the allophone codes (see header file)

Sample Code


/*
	ZX Spectrum and the Currah uSpeech lib demo

*/
#include `<spectrum.h>`

#include `<zxcurrah.h>`
#include `<stdio.h>`

#include `<stdlib.h>`

/* 'Hello" word for direct mode */
char hello[] = {PH_H, PH_E | PH_PITCH, PH_LL, PH_O, PH___, PH_END};

int main()
{
	if ( !currah_detect() )  
	{
		printf ("CURRAH uSpeech is present\n");
	}
	else
	{
	printf ("Hello (from the direct engine)\n");
	currah_direct (hello);
	sleep (1);
	printf ("\nHello (internal conversion functions)\n");
	currah_speech ("hE(ll)o");
	sleep (1);

	printf ("\n\nI am a ZX Spectrum talking\n");
