Where can I find the Text-to-Speech component for delphi?
I want to add instruction for text to speech input to my applications. Where can I find a Text to speech component for this. I don't want to use Windows features.
Chant SpeechKit has an infinite amount http://www.chant.net/Products/SpeechKit/Default.aspx
I read articles by Brian Long
http://www.blong.com/Conferences/DCon2002/Speech/Speech.htm http://www.blong.com/Conferences/DCon2002/Speech/SAPI51/SAPI51.htm
And wrote my own. I use this all day to read newsgroups, emails and articles.
If you want a Delphi component that wraps the Windows Speech API, you can try this:

However, if you want a complete speech synthesizer that is completely independent of the Windows system, that's a different problem.
A few suggestions after surfing the net:
- MBROLA Inside ...
- AkaSig - Free Text to Speech Technologies
- TextAloud
http://www.nuance.com/dragon/index.htm is a private API that helps us to recognize speech and convert text to speech
