-<p id="classSummary"> |
-Use the <code>chrome.ttsEngine</code> module to |
-implement a text-to-speech (TTS) engine using an extension. If your |
-extension registers using this API, it will receive events containing |
-an utterance to be spoken and other parameters when any extension or packaged |
-app uses the |
-<a href="tts.html">tts</a> |
-module to generate speech. Your extension can then use any available |
-web technology to synthesize and output the speech, and send events back |
-to the calling function to report the status. |
-</p> |
-<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2> |
-<p>An extension can register itself as a speech engine. By doing so, it |
-can intercept some or all calls to functions such as |
-<a href="tts.html#method-speak"><code>speak()</code></a> and |
-<a href="tts.html#method-stop"><code>stop()</code></a> |
-and provide an alternate implementation. |
-Extensions are free to use any available web technology |
-to provide speech, including streaming audio from a server, HTML5 audio, |
-Native Client, or Flash. An extension could even do something different |
-with the utterances, like display closed captions in a pop-up window or |
-send them as log messages to a remote server.</p> |
-<h2 id="manifest">Manifest</h2> |
-<p>To implement a TTS engine, an extension must |
-declare the "ttsEngine" permission and then declare all voices |
-it provides in the extension manifest, like this:</p> |
-<pre>{ |
- "name": "My TTS Engine", |
- "version": "1.0", |
- <b>"permissions": ["ttsEngine"], |
- "tts_engine": { |
- "voices": [ |
- { |
- "voice_name": "Alice", |
- "lang": "en-US", |
- "gender": "female", |
- "event_types": ["start", "marker", "end"] |
- }, |
- { |
- "voice_name": "Pat", |
- "lang": "en-US", |
- "event_types": ["end"] |
- } |
- ] |
- },</b> |
- "background_page": "background.html", |
-}</pre> |
-<p>An extension can specify any number of voices.</p> |
-<p>The <code>voice_name</code> parameter is required. The name should be |
-descriptive enough that it identifies the name of the voice and the |
-engine used. In the unlikely event that two extensions register voices |
-with the same name, a client can specify the ID of the extension that |
-should do the synthesis.</p> |
-<p>The <code>gender</code> parameter is optional. If your voice corresponds |
-to a male or female voice, you can use this parameter to help clients |
-choose the most appropriate voice for their application.</p> |
-<p>The <code>lang</code> parameter is optional, but highly recommended. |
-Almost always, a voice can synthesize speech in just a single language. |
-When an engine supports more than one language, it can easily register a |
-separate voice for each language. Under rare circumstances where a single |
-voice can handle more than one language, it's easiest to just list two |
-separate voices and handle them using the same logic internally. However, |
-if you want to create a voice that will handle utterances in any language, |
-leave out the <code>lang</code> parameter from your extension's manifest.</p> |
-<p>Finally, the <code>event_types</code> parameter is required if the engine can |
-send events to update the client on the progress of speech synthesis. |
-At a minimum, supporting the <code>'end'</code> event type to indicate |
-when speech is finished is highly recommended, otherwise Chrome cannot |
-schedule queued utterances.</p> |
-<p class="note"> |
-<strong>Note:</strong> If your TTS engine does not support |
-the <code>'end'</code> event type, Chrome cannot queue utterances |
-because it has no way of knowing when your utterance has finished. To |
-help mitigate this, Chrome passes an additional boolean <code>enqueue</code> |
-option to your engine's onSpeak handler, giving you the option of |
-implementing your own queueing. This is discouraged because then |
-clients are unable to queue utterances that should get spoken by different |
-speech engines.</p> |
-<p>The possible event types that you can send correspond to the event types |
-that the <code>speak()</code> method receives:</p> |
-<ul> |
- <li><code>'start'</code>: The engine has started speaking the utterance. |
- <li><code>'word'</code>: A word boundary was reached. Use |
- <code>event.charIndex</code> to determine the current speech |
- position. |
- <li><code>'sentence'</code>: A sentence boundary was reached. Use |
- <code>event.charIndex</code> to determine the current speech |
- position. |
- <li><code>'marker'</code>: An SSML marker was reached. Use |
- <code>event.charIndex</code> to determine the current speech |
- position. |
- <li><code>'end'</code>: The engine has finished speaking the utterance. |
- <li><code>'error'</code>: An engine-specific error occurred and |
- this utterance cannot be spoken. |
- Pass more information in <code>event.errorMessage</code>. |
-</ul> |
-<p>The <code>'interrupted'</code> and <code>'cancelled'</code> events are |
-not sent by the speech engine; they are generated automatically by Chrome.</p> |
-<p>Text-to-speech clients can get the voice information from your |
-extension's manifest by calling |
-<a href="tts.html#method-getVoices">getVoices()</a>, |
-assuming you've registered speech event listeners as described below.</p> |
-<h2 id="handling_speech_events">Handling speech events</h2> |
-<p>To generate speech at the request of clients, your extension must |
-register listeners for both <code>onSpeak</code> and <code>onStop</code>, |
-like this:</p> |
-<pre>var speakListener = function(utterance, options, sendTtsEvent) { |
- sendTtsEvent({'event_type': 'start', 'charIndex': 0}) |
- // (start speaking) |
- sendTtsEvent({'event_type': 'end', 'charIndex': utterance.length}) |
-}; |
-var stopListener = function() { |
- // (stop all speech) |
-}; |
-chrome.ttsEngine.onSpeak.addListener(speakListener); |
-chrome.ttsEngine.onStop.addListener(stopListener);</pre> |
-<p class="warning"> |
-<b>Important:</b> |
-If your extension does not register listeners for both |
-<code>onSpeak</code> and <code>onStop</code>, it will not intercept any |
-speech calls, regardless of what is in the manifest.</p> |
-<p>The decision of whether or not to send a given speech request to an |
-extension is based solely on whether the extension supports the given voice |
-parameters in its manifest and has registered listeners |
-for <code>onSpeak</code> and <code>onStop</code>. In other words, |
-there's no way for an extension to receive a speech request and |
-dynamically decide whether to handle it.</p> |
