Text to Speech in a web player build
I'm hoping to get text to speech working in a webplayer build using Unity Pro 3.3. I've seen the plugin on the forums and have that working in stand alone builds, but I'm trying just the most basic implementation for a webplayer: adding a .NET assembly (Interop.SpeechLib.dll) to my assets folder and attaching this script to a game object:
using UnityEngine; using System.Collections; using SpeechLib;
public class SkinTest : MonoBehaviour {
void OnGUI()
{
if (GUI.Button(new Rect(Screen.width/2, Screen.height/2,120,80),"Speak!")) {
SpVoice voice = new SpVoice();
voice.Speak("Hello World!", SpeechVoiceSpeakFlags.SVSFDefault);
}
}
}
It works in a stand alone Windows build, but not in a webplayer build. I guess this is as expected since I don't think the web player includes the assembly.
Is there any way to get text to speech working in a web player build?
Thanks
I wish we can deploy plug-ins webplayer builds but unfortunately, Unity does not allow it for security reasons.

Have you considered setting up your text to speech as a web service that your web build can access over HTTP? It's a suggestion I haven't tried myself but I just thought that might work.
You can try to use a web service like Google which will deliver you a mpeg file. I dont know about sound loading in unity but I think you can do it.

If so this will work for MAC users too.
