Hello,
I just wanted to experiment with speech synthesis in Squeak 4.3 All-in-one, but after an hour or so of browsing I still can't find where to enable it. I thought I'd find it in SqueakMap, but it doesn't seem to be there.
Can anyone give me a hint?
Thank you in advance,
Alex

My first thought is to use a Morph tool. Click on the background/World and bring up the World menu. Click on "objects (o)". Click on "Multimedia". Drag "SoundRecorder" onto the World and it will expand. I think you can record your voice and play it back.
Using (on a Mac) Option+click (Alt+click ? on Windows) you can bring up a halo that will give you ways to explore the morphs. Some dig down to its code.

Hi Alex,
execute this:
================ [Installer ss project: 'Speech'; install: 'SharedPool-Speech'; install: 'Speech' ] on: Error do: [:ex | (Smalltalk at: #PhonemeSet) initialize. ex resume]. ================
This will install the Speech package from http://www.squeaksource.com/Speech.html (and work around an initialization problem)
Then do
Speaker manWithHead say: 'This is my voice. Can you see my lips?'
Fun! :)
For someone with write access to the Speech repo (Dave?):
In "LipsMorph class >> initialize" add the line
PhonemeSet arpabet ifNil: [PhonemeSet initialize].

Bert,
I can't do an update right now, but I added you as developer on the Speech project.

Okay, committed the fix. Now this works for me:
Installer ss project: 'Speech'; install: 'SharedPool-Speech'; install: 'Speech'

Thank you Bert, as Alex has searched for it for one hour it would be a nice snippet to add to the 'Extending the system' workspace thus reinforcing the notion that Squeak is geared towards multimedia...

I only ever heard that "multimedia stuff" about Squeak from Pharo folks. Squeak is still a general purpose Smalltalk.

Squeak, as a Smalltalk dialect, is prototype dynabook software, of which broad multimedia support is an essential requirement. In order to achieve it's true potential, the computer must subsume all previous media, as Alan has so often mentioned. At the moment, Pharo is very focused on cleaning and evolving, so I think multimedia support is currently better in Squeak.
Cheers, Sean

Bert and everybody else,
thank you for your kind support with the speech synthesizer!
I got it working, and am really curious to see how useful it will be for giving feedback in a virtually screenless environment.
Kind regards,
Alex
