Sample Programs (UNIX only)

Some applets are included with DECtalk Software. These sample applications demonstrate the use of DECtalk Software APIs. These sources can be used as templates for other applications that you might want to develop.

Some of the applets demonstrate the DECtalk Software API extension to the multimedia API specified in the Multimedia Services for Tru64 UNIX product. These applets are the ones that play back speech samples to an audio device. These applets are built using the libttsmme.so shared library.

Other applets demonstrate the DECtalk Software API that does not include the multimedia extensions. These applets are those that do not require any audio devices. These applets can be built using the libtts.so shared library.

Sources to these programs can be found in:
