Reads the specified text using the device's text-to-speech engine.
Example
SpeechSynthesisReadText("WINDEV is great!")
Syntax
<Result> = SpeechSynthesisReadText(<Text> [, <Locking>])
<Result>: Integer
  • True if the text was read (locking mode) or if the text was added to the reading queue (non-locking mode),
  • False in case of failure. If an error occurs, the ErrorOccurred variable is set to True. To get more details on the error, use ErrorInfo.
<Text>: Character string
Text to read.
<Locking>: Optional boolean
  • True: the function is run in locking mode. The code following the call to the function will be run once the entire text is read or when the function fails. An hourglass will be displayed during the read operation. Use NextTitle to customize the message displayed by the hourglass.
  • False (default value): the function is run in non-locking mode. The code following the call to the function will be run as soon as the reading of the text starts or when the function fails.
Remarks

Operating mode

  • If a new read operation is triggered while another read operation is in progress, the new read operation will start once the first one is over.
    To know whether a read operation is in progress on the speech synthesis engine, use SpeechSynthesisInProgress.
    To stop the current read operations, use SpeechSynthesisStop.
  • To define the parameters that will be used by the engine for speech synthesis (language, reading speed, etc.), use SpeechSynthesisInitialize.
    If the speech synthesis parameters have not been previously defined by SpeechSynthesisInitialize, the default parameters will be used and the language for text reading will be the first language available for the speech synthesis engine according to the following sequence:
    • Application language (default language or language defined by Nation),
    • Language of device,
    • English,
    • Default language of engine for speech synthesis.
  • To read the content of a text file, use SpeechSynthesisReadFile.
  • Caution: SpeechSynthesisReadText does not instantaneously read the text when the mobile device is in standby mode. In this case, you can:
    • prevent from going in standby mode with SysStandby.
