Getting Output level for NeatSpeech

[josh]

Is it possible to get the output level using the Neat Speech library? The [fliteController fileOutputLevel] method works well with OpenEars but as soon as I switch to NeatSpeech it only outputs 0.

Whoops, this may have been an oversight in version 1.0, I will check it out. If you want to try to make a quick change to OpenEars in the meantime that might help, find this line in the project OpenEars.xcodeproj in the class FliteController:

– (Float32) fliteOutputLevel {
if(self.speechInProgress == TRUE) {

and change it to:

– (Float32) fliteOutputLevel {
if([self.audioPlayer isPlaying] == TRUE) {

Then recompile the OpenEars framework and use in your app. Let me know if that results in audio output being restored.

This is fixed in OpenEars 1.2.4 out today.

Thanks a lot! The latest version fixed the fliteOutputLevel. However, just to let you know the fliteController.speechInProgress still always returns false.

OK, good to know, thanks. In a pinch, from outside of the class you can always check whether speech is in progress by checking the boolean [self.fliteController.audioPlayer isPlaying].
