@satishAarbor What kind of details are you looking for?

satishAarbor commented 5 years ago

below code is my sample of javascript code.

           var botMsg = data['text']
            responsiveVoice.speak(botMsg);
         $("#textArea").append("<strong>Weatherbot</strong>"+": "+botMsg+"<br>");

botMsg is a variable that contain message from bot and responsiveVoice.speak(botMsg); this is used to english text to speech method here if it contain tamil language i want to say my bot in tamil language as your project done when selecting the tamil text and say it tamil in chrome as extension.

So if I understand correctly, there are 2 things that're needed for what you want.

  1. Detecting if the language you want to speak is tamil or not. This is beyond the scope of this project. I can't help with that.
  2. How to make it speak Tamil text. This project when it was built, uses an API from one of the Tamil TTS engines. You can use the same to do your Tamil TTS.

Since what you're trying to do is beyond the scope of this project, I'm closing this issue.

satishAarbor commented 5 years ago

can you tell me any open source tamil TTS API?

@satishAarbor I found about this recently on ILUGC community https://github.com/fossbalaji/tamil-tts-web/. This might be of some help.
