Method Details

[hide private]

check(cls)
Class Method

source code

Determine whether this synth is available. The synth will be excluded from the list of available synths if this method returns False. For example, if this synth requires installation and it is not installed, False should be returned.

Returns: bool: True if this synth is available, False if not.
Overrides: synthDriverHandler.SynthDriver.check: (inherited documentation)

speak(self, speechSequence)

source code

Speaks the given sequence of text and speech commands. This base implementation will fallback to making use of the old speakText and speakCharacter methods. But new synths should override this method to support its full functionality.

Parameters:

speechSequence - a list of text strings and SpeechCommand objects (such as index and parameter changes).

Overrides: synthDriverHandler.SynthDriver.speak
