Could we write a program that can generate voice? The code would allow us to manipulate the voice too. What are the requirements? I am basically interested in generating voice through iPhone and Android.

What kind of "voice" you want to "generate" ?? are you trying to generate any "sound" in general? by creating a file and filling it with bytes? – Aman Alam Feb 01 '11 at 09:47

@Sheikh Probably a sound which can be controlled, the loudness, pitch etc. – SocialCircus Feb 01 '11 at 10:03

Android has a text-to-speech API. It may not be supported on all devices, but there are separate apps which implement it.

Thank you ,however I want to create voice @Pontus. Like when you run the code it will generate voice. – SocialCircus Feb 01 '11 at 09:20

Why do you want to do it yourself? What's missing in the TTS functionality? Speech synthesis requires quite a lot of linguistic competence and data. – Pontus Gagge Feb 01 '11 at 10:31

If you just want to alter pitch and speed, check the API... it's already there for you! – Pontus Gagge Feb 01 '11 at 10:33
