Figured out how to do text-to-speech from the UNIX command line (using the built-in voice synthesizer) using the "say" command, plus:
• how to choose a voice (Vicki sounded best to me) from the command line
• how to use the "say" command from within a C++ program, using the system() function
• how to speak the contents of a text file from within a C++ program (which may be the interim solution, until i can figure out how to speak, for instance, the contents of a string variable)
After all, an AI has to have a voice! (Or at least it would be nice, if it's not too difficult.) Doing speech recognition is another thing, but not out of the realm of possibility.
And the new computer is *so* much faster! Yay ! ! !
