Question

I developed a text to speech application in objective c for iPad.

I used Flite class (OPenears Library)to do it. But my client is not happy because he need some good quality sound with high volume. Also he need a Female voice for text to speech.

All of the TTS libraries for iOS have female voices. In the libraries that use Flite, the voices with "slt" in them are female. I think that in the commercial libraries/APIs, they are labeled with women's names.

Can you give an example of a TTS library for iOS that you need help setting a female voice for?

By the way, I don't want to encourage you to use OpenEars if it isn't a fit for you, but your OpenEars installation sounds like it's misconfigured -- the documentation could help you with fixing your volume issue and using the higher-quality female voice than the default.

You need to use iOS7

In the .h file You need to use AVFoundation

.m file

- (void)viewDidLoad {

    NSString *mySpeech = @"This is an Apple";

    AVSpeechSynthesizer *synthesizer = [[AVSpeechSynthesizer alloc] init];
    AVSpeechUtterance *utterance =
    [AVSpeechUtterance speechUtteranceWithString:mySpeech];
    utterance.rate = AVSpeechUtteranceMaximumSpeechRate / 7.0f;
    utterance.voice = [AVSpeechSynthesisVoice voiceWithLanguage:@"en-US"]; // defaults to your system language
    [synthesizer speakUtterance:utterance];
}
