I want to use iOS 7 new speech synthezis API, and my application is localized in french & english,german,japanese,etc.i want set language code to read text.How to get language code?
utterance.voice = [AVSpeechSynthesisVoice voiceWithLanguage:@"en-ZA"];
You can set one of the bellow language:
for (AVSpeechSynthesisVoice *voice in [AVSpeechSynthesisVoice speechVoices]) {
NSLog(@" %@", voice.language);
}
or use default locale:
AVSpeechSynthesizer *synthesizer = [[AVSpeechSynthesizer alloc] init];
AVSpeechUtterance *utterance = [AVSpeechUtterance speechUtteranceWithString:@"Localized -text"];
utterance.rate = AVSpeechUtteranceMinimumSpeechRate; // Tell it to me slowly
[synthesizer speakUtterance:utterance];
