I just released a new version of my processing freetts wraper

in this version I added two new speak methods that allow to choose the speaker the voice is coming from

tts.speak( "I am in the center" );
tts.speakLeft( "I am on the left" );
tts.speakRight( "I am on the right" );

go to the ttslib project page and download a copy. Installation works as usual by unzipping the file in your sketchbook/library folder.

I gave some more code and love to my animator-library for processing and I think it has improved enough to release a new version

Animators can now be added to a Sequence

Sequence s = new Sequence();
s.addAnimator( new LinearAnimator( 500,100,200 ));
s.addAnimator( new SquareAnimator( 200, 200, 100 ));

the sequence can be started using s.start() and the value is fetched using s.get()

A simpler form of defining sequences is to use the string-parser

the same Sequence as above can be defined using

Sequence s = Sequence.parse( "S100,L500->200,Q200->100");

The animators are separated with a comma, each block starts with a letter and one or two parameter

• "S" is the start value
• "L" defines a LinearAnimator the first integer defines the time the second one the target value
• "Q" defines a SquareAnimator the first integer defines the time the second one the target value
• "R" defines a RootAnimator the first integer defines the time the second one the target value
• "D" defines a Delay in milliseconds

I also added a bunch of new Examples that show how to use the new features

As always feedback is very welcome!

I just made a Project-page for my animator-library

I also started adding some basic Documentation and added a download link to the source-code which I totally forgott in the anouncment blog post

I just released a new version of my processing freetts wrapper.

In this version the pitch of the voice can be altered by using

tts.setPitch( 1000 ); // set the base frequency to 1000 hertz
tts.setPitchShift( 1.2 ); // how much should the pich change over time?
tts.setPitchRange(100); // in this example the pitch will vary between 1000 and 1100 hertz

Go to the ttslib project page and download a copy. Install as unsual by unzipping it into your sketchbook/libraries Folder.
