Flite.device progress report

I've just recently updated the flite.device to use the latest 1.4 version of the speech engine:
http://os4depot.net/?function=showfil ... er/audio/flite_device.lha

The next version (53.1) of the device which I've already begun working on will allow the user to select which of the five voices that are included with flite 1.4 to use.

Rather than linking all the voices statically into flite.device the voices are compiled as shared objects (stored in DEVS:Flite/) and the flite.device loads the one(s) it is to use dynamically using dlopen().

Great! I feel that WordNet - one of the few serious OS4 apps using flite.device - will get another update to make use of the new voices!

why not add device capability to string/text gadgets that way all apps using these gadgets can play via os.

Another feature that will be new in 53.1 flite.device is that it will now be possible to interrupt a CMD_WRITE in progress by using AbortIO().

Version 53.1 with multi-voice support is now available:

what apps use it?

WordNet, to provide speech output to the dictionary.
