Voice Manager

The Voice Manager controls the loading/unloading of a voice and it’s related resources and then provides the voice to the rest of the Speect Engine and Plug-ins. The loaded voice’s data is chached for reuse. All of this is controlled through one function:

SVoice *s_vm_load_voice(const char *path, s_erc *error)

Load a voice from the given path.

If any of the voice’s data objects have already been loaded, then they are shared. This reduces the need for multiple redundant calls.

Parameters:

• path –

  The full path and name of the voice to load.

• error –

  Error code.

Return:

Pointer to the loaded voice.

Note:

The caller is responsible for the memory of the returned voice, which can be normally deleted with S_DELETE.

Thread safe.
