A basic text-to-speech API intended to be used for audio accessibility.
Implementations of this API should audibly play back text to assist users in non-visual navigation of the application.
Note that these functions do not have to be thread-safe. They must only be called from a single application thread.
Functions
SbSpeechSynthesisCancel
Cancels all speaking and queued speech synthesis audio. Must return immediately.
Declaration
void SbSpeechSynthesisCancel()
SbSpeechSynthesisIsSupported
Returns whether the platform supports speech synthesis
Declaration
bool SbSpeechSynthesisIsSupported()
SbSpeechSynthesisSpeak
Enqueues text
, a UTF-8 string, to be spoken. Returns immediately.
Spoken language for the text should be the same as the locale returned by SbSystemGetLocaleId().
If audio from previous SbSpeechSynthesisSpeak() invocations is still processing, the current speaking should continue and this new text should be queued to play when the previous utterances are complete.
Declaration
void SbSpeechSynthesisSpeak(const char *text)
