Edit

== Description ==‎

Edit

The KDE ''Text-To-Speech System'' '''{{Jovie}}''' is an application that can run in the background to provide speech output of text throughout the desktop. It integrates with many applications and is simple to use.‎

Edit

== Setup ==‎

Edit

Once installed you can start '''{{Jovie}}''' by going to your applications menu and under <menuchoice>Utilites</menuchoice> open <menuchoice>jovie</menuchoice>. Or just start '''KRunner''' <keycap>Alt+F2</keycap> and run {{Input|1=jovie}}. '''{{Jovie}}''' is not initially setup and you will need to do this before using its speaking abilities.‎

Edit

{{Note|You can also access the configuration from System Settings}}‎

Edit

The first step is to make sure you have a compatible speech engine installed. The following synthesizers are compatible with '''{{Jovie}}''': '''Festival''', '''Festival Lite (flite)''', '''Hadifix''', '''Epos''', and '''FreeTTS'''. Any engine that can be run from commandline can also be used with '''{{Jovie}}'''.‎

Edit

Now you can continue on and create a ''Talker.'' Select the tab <menuchoice>Talker</menuchoice> from the <menuchoice>Text-to-Speech Control Module</menuchoice> and click <menuchoice>Add</menuchoice>.‎

Edit

Edit

Select which language and synthesizer to use. You will need to have a voice installed to use '''Festival''', you can configure this afterwards by selecting the <menuchoice>Edit</menuchoice> button. '''{{Jovie}}''' should now be setup and you can test it by selecting <menuchoice>Edit</menuchoice> and then <menuchoice>Test</menuchoice>.‎

=== Configuration ===‎

Edit

[[Image:KTTS-Config4.png|400px|center|thumb|]]‎

Edit

To configure the speaker's voice, volume, speed, and pitch go to the <menuchoice>Talkers</menuchoice> tab and click <menuchoice>Edit</menuchoice> on the speaker. A window such as the one in the above screenshot will popup and allow you to configure it. To change the voice you will need to have other voices installed.‎

Edit

== Using {{Jovie}} ==‎

Edit

=== System Tray ===‎

Edit

If enabled in the configuration, '''{{Jovie}}''' will be availabe to you in the ''System Tray''. Right-clicking it will reveal the menu which is straight forward and allows for control of the speech output. [[Image:KTTS-SystemTray.png|400px|center|thumb|]]‎

Edit

Notice the <menuchoice>Speak Clipboard Contents</menuchoice> in the menu, if the application isn't integrated with '''{{Jovie}}''' (Read more about the applications with '''{{Jovie}}''' built-in in the next section) you can copy the text you want spoken, and click <menuchoice>Speak Clipboard Contents</menuchoice> to hear it read.‎

Edit

=== Integration with other Desktop Applications ===‎

Edit

==== Konqueror ====‎

Edit

'''{{Jovie}}''' allows you to speak the text on a web page. In the menu go to <menuchoice>Tools -> Speak Text</menuchoice>. However you may not want to do this because it will also read the HTML headers on the page. Instead highlight the text you want spoken and then select <menuchoice>Speak Text</menuchoice>.‎

Edit

Also note this feature is built into '''Okular''' as well. In the <menuchoice>Tools</menuchoice> menu you will be give two choices <menuchoice>Speak Whole Document</menuchoice> or <menuchoice>Speak Current Page</menuchoice>.‎

Edit

==== Notifications ====‎

Edit

'''{{Jovie}}''' works with any application that uses notifications. To set this up start an application such as '''Konversation''' that uses notifications. In the menu go to <menuchoice>Settings -> Configure Notifications...</menuchoice> [[Image:KTTS-Notification2.png|400px|center|thumb|]]‎

Edit

As you can see you can have various notifications for different events, such as when someone triggers a highlight. By selecting it to speak for this event it will notify you through audio output each time this event happens. Of course you can also have more than one notification.‎

Edit

{{Info|1=If an application doesn't include the ability to speak text remember that you can always highlight and copy text and then use {{Jovie}} to speak your clipboard contents.}}‎

Edit

==== Troubleshooting ====‎

Edit

If '''Jovie''' is silent despite having added a voice, try running the speech-dispatcher configuration tool on the command line.‎

Edit

{{Input|1=spd-conf}}‎
