I have ported espeak to symbian, but without direct playback support. Actually up till now, it is just the speak program that is ported. It can generate a wave file which I now play with python on symbian. The next step is to port the library and to get direct speech output so that one would be able to use indexing etc from the library. Where I am out of my depth, is to marry the example code for doing audio output on the phone to the similar work done by Willie Walker and Gills Casse where they replaced portaudio with code to do the same thing for sada under Solaris and pulsaudio respectively. Using the open-c/c++ library under Symbian, the code is supposed to be very close to standard POSIX code, but I do not even know enough to confirm this personally. Any help would be appreciated.
