Drinking Water And My Mouth Goes Dry

My MetaQuerier Beta talk has been selected for the RailsConf Europe 2007

I just published the first version with usable festivaltts4r plugin for Ruby on FestivalttsOnRails Rails. With this library and this plugin you can make your applications Ruby and Ruby on Rails hype!

The plugin for rails in ubuntu is very easy to use: Install

tts libraries and generating mp3:

sudo apt-get install festival lame

1. 
   

     festivalttsOnRails to install the plugin Ruby on Rails: 
    
     

   script / plugin install \\
svn: / / rubyforge.org/var/svn/festivaltts4r/plugins/festivaltts_on_rails

2. 
   

     text_to_flash_player 
    Using the method (text) in your views: 
    
     



3. 
   

     
    plugin currently only available in the version with English voice, but as proof of concept and can serve. Depending on the interest in the plugin and the help of the community I can do better. <%= text_to_flash_player "Talk me!" %> 
    I have found that works on Ubuntu Linux, if you can test it on other platforms would be grateful if you commented to me how it works;)  

   can also use the library festivaltts4r for voice applications with Ruby in local mode. Like the plugin is very easy to install and use: Install

tts libraries and generating mp3:



sudo apt-get

install festival lame
1. 
   

    festivaltts4r  Install gem: 
    
     

   sudo gem install festivaltts4r


2. 
   

     Include necessary gems and call to_speech method that is defined in the String class: 
    
     

   require "rubygems" require
"festivaltts4r"

3. "I'm talking". to_speech
   

     
    
    
    This project was carried out using the libraries 
    Festival TTS and 
     

   lame.
