Speech Dispatcher
Speech Dispatcher is a device independent layer for speech synthesis, developed with the goal of making the usage of speech synthesis easier for application programmers. It takes care of most of the tasks necessary to solve in speech-enabled applications. What a very high level GUI library is to graphics, Speech Dispatcher is to speech synthesis. The architecture is based on a proven client/server model. The basic means of client communication is through a TCP connection using the Speech Synthesis Independent Protocol (SSIP), or through an interface library.
