    Beskrivelse

    KDEs tekst til tale-system KTTS er en applikation, som kører i baggrunden for at oplæse tekst over hele skrivebordet. Det integrerer med mange applikationer og er enkelt at bruge.

    Opsætning

    Efter installation kan du starte KTTS ved at vælge kttsmgr i startmenuen under Værktøjer; eller du kan starte KRunner (Alt+F2) og skrive

    kttsmgr

    . Du skal først sætte KTTS op før du kan bruge dets talesyntetisering.

    Note

    Du kan også konfigurere KTTS fra Systemindstillinger


    Første skridt er at sikre dig, at du har en kompatibel tale-generator installeret. Følgende synthesizere er kompatible med KTTS: Festival, Festival Lite (flite), Hadifix, Epos, og FreeTTS. Enhver generator, som kan køres fra kommandolinjen kan også bruges med KTTS.

    Nu kan du fortsætte med at lave en oplæser. Vælg fanebladet Oplæsere i kontrolmodulet Tekst-til-tale og klik Tilføj.

    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 Edit button. KTTS should now be setup and you can test it by selecting Edit and then Test.

    Configuration

    To configure the speaker's voice, volume, speed, and pitch go to the Talkers tab and click Edit 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.

    Using KTTS

    System Tray

    If enabled in the configuration, KTTS 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.

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

    Integration with other Desktop Applications

    Konqueror

    KTTS allows you to speak the text on a web page. In the menu go to Tools -> Speak Text. 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 Speak Text.

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

    Notifications

    KTTS 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 Settings -> Configure Notifications...

    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.


    If an application doesn't include the ability to speak text remember that you can always highlight and copy text and then use KTTS to speak your clipboard contents.


    For more information check out the KTTS Handbook included with KTTS.

    KTTS was renamed to Jovie during 4.5 release cycle. Thus, if you cannot find ktts package in your distribution just install Jovie.
