Introduction
The Vocalware API enables you to use our cloud based Text-To-Speech service, to generate & play audio in real-time within your online application. By the term online application we refer to any online program, including: web pages, Flash widget, or native code apps on either desktop or mobile device. The only requirement is that your online application has an internet connection fast enough to sustain audio playback. The Vocalware API allows you to generate audio and control audio playback. The API comes in three flavors: JavaScript, ActionScript (Flash) and HTTP-REST - so it can be easily incorporated into your application. Whether your application runs in-browser or standalone, on mobile, desktop or server - one of our API flavors will work for you. The Vocalware API supports TTS in over 20 languages, with several voices available in most. The API allows you to specify the language and voice to use, as well as optional audio effects such as pitch, echo, etc. For a complete list of languages & voices see Appendix.

Select the API Flavor to Use

As mentioned, the API comes in comes in three flavors: 1. JavaScript 2. ActionScript 3. HTTP-REST To proceed, you should first identify the section of this document that refers to the API flavor you plan to use. The JavaScript and ActionScript APIs are similar, and are both covered by the first section of this guide. The HTTP API is covered by the second section. How to select the API flavor thats right for you? Here are a few rules of thumb: in your web pages use the JavaScript API in your Flash app - use the ActionScript API on your server use the HTTP API in your mobile app - use the HTTP API

The JavaScript & ActionScript APIs

Introduction
Both JavaScript and ActionScript APIs operate by way of an invisible Flash object, that your web page or Flash application loads & can then access via the API functions. The API supports the generation of synthetic audio from text as well as playback control functionality. The interface is a set of client side JavaScript or ActionScript calls, and does not require you to make any call to our servers, as the client side API encapsulates all interaction with the Vocalware servers. Tip: The simplest way to handle playback of the generated audio, is to control it via the documented API functions. Using these high level functions makes direct access to the audio data unnecessary in most cases. However, if you need low level access to the audio stream data, the API allows direct access through the vw_audioStarted callback (available only in AS3). To get started with either JS or AS APIs you need to: a. Create an AS or JS API object in your accounts My APIs page. Copy the 'embed code' unique to your API object and paste it into the BODY section of your page. b. Specify in your Security Settings page the domain (or several domains) in which this API is to operate. c. Implement the vw_apiLoaded callback to receive notice that your API is ready. Important caveats / pitfalls to avoid Your embed code is specific to your account and for your protection will allow playback only from the domain(s) you specify. Specifying a domain is mandatory. Your API will not function without it. The vw_apiLoaded status callback is dispatched when the api is ready. It is therefore advisable to implement the vw_apiLoaded callback and avoid calling any API function prior to loading conformation. API functions work only after the API has completed loading. In the next sections you will find instructions and code examples explaining how to use your embed code and the documented API function calls.

Using your Embed Code

2012 Oddcast Inc.

Revision 1.0 9/1/2012

The embed code is a code segment unique to your account, or more specifically to an API Object within your account. Instructions and examples below explain how to incorporate the embed code.

JavaScript Instructions
Paste your embed code into your HTML pages BODY section. The exact location within your HTML is not significant, though it is best not to include it within FORM brackets or other nested HTML structures. Use the Javascript API functions defined below.

ActionScript 3 Instructions
1. Run Adobe Flash CS3 or higher. 2. Click Layer 1 3. If you do not see the Actions > Frame window label in the middle left of the screen, click Actions. 4. Add the following block of code into the Actions Frame window.
Security.allowDomain("content.oddcast.com"); var ldr:Loader; var req:URLRequest; var vw_player:MovieClip; var _example_ui:MovieClip; req = new URLRequest("EMBED_CODE"); ldr = new Loader(); ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeHan dler); ldr.load(req); addChild(ldr); function completeHandler($ev:Event):void { trace("EXAMPLE --- COMPLETE HANDLER "+$ev.target); vw_player = MovieClip(ldr.content); }

5. Copy your embed code and Paste where you see EMBED_CODE above. Note: In the HTML file make sure that allowScriptAccess' is set to 'always'. 6. Declare event listeners in the completeHandler function if call back functions will be used, for example:
vw_player.addEventListener(vw_apiLoaded, vw_apiLoaded);

ActionScript 2 Instructions
1. Run Adobe Flash MX or higher.
2012 Oddcast Inc. 4 Revision 1.0 9/1/2012

2. From the top level menu, choose Insert->New Symbol->Ok 3. Click on Scene 1 4. The Scene window appears as a blank white rectangle in the center of the Adobe Flash screen. 5. Drag Symbol 1 from the Library window to the upper left corner of the Scene window. Replace with instance_name. 6. Click Layer 1 7. If you do not see the Actions > Frame window label in the middle left of the screen, click Actions. 8. Copy your embed code and Paste into the Actions Frame window. 9. The line below should appear in the Actions for the first Frame of the first Scene of your movie:
System.security.allowDomain("vhost.oddcast.com", "vhssa.oddcast.com", "vhss-c.oddcast.com", "vhss-d.oddcast.com");

10. The line below should appear in the Actions for the Scene. Replace instance_name with the name of the instance name you entered for the symbol you inserted, and replace EMBED_CODE with your embed code. instance_name.loadMovie("EMBED_CODE"); 11. Declare all callback functions that you wish to use, for example:
function vw_apiLoaded(){ //any commands that should be triggered here; }

Playback Control Functions

All functions are available to both JS and AS APIs, unless explicitly specified otherwise. Where the syntax differs, it is so noted.

sayText (txt,voice,lang,engine,[effect], [effLevel])

Real-time (dynamic) Text-To-Speech (TTS). Note: This function is available only to a TTS Enabled account and will work only within a licensed domain for the account. Domain specific licensing is necessary to avoid misappropriation of TTS streams. If the account is not TTS-Enabled, or playback is attempted within a domain that is not specifically licensed for the account, then this call will have no effect. Arguments: txt Required. String - The text to speak. Most languages are limited to 900 characters. The exceptions are Chinese & Japanese which are limited to 225 characters. A longer text string will be truncated. Required. Integer Voice ID, as listed in Appendix.

voice

Revision 1.0 9/1/2012

Required. Integer Language ID, as listed in Appendix. Required. Integer Voice Family ID. See languages and voices listed listed in Appendix. effect Optional. Character. Audio effect one of: D Duration levels: -3, -2, -1, 1, 2, 3 P Pitch levels: -3, -2, -1, 1, 2, 3 S Speed levels: -3, -2, -1, 1, 2, 3 R Robotic: o Bullhorn level: 3 (note: levels 1 and 2 are deprecated) T Time: o Echo level: 1 o Reverb level: 2 o Flanger level: 3 o Phase level: 4 W Whisper levels: 1, 2, 3 effLevel Optional. Integer. Effect level must be provided if effect is provided. lang engine Examples: sayText(Hello World,1,1,1) sayText(Hello World,1,1,1,S,-2)

loadText(txt,voice,lang,engine,[effect], [effLevel])
Preload a specific Text To Speech audio. Calling loadText in advance can reduce the loading time when the audio is played. Calling loadText a second time, while audio is loading or after audio has been loaded has no effect. Implement the vw_ttsLoaded() event callback to be notified when the audio track is done loading. Use the sayText() function to play the audio. Note: using loadText may be unnecessary. Use it only if your application requires split second timing coordination when starting audio playback.

Arguments: txt Required. String - The text to speak. Most languages are limited to 900 characters. The exceptions are: Chinese & Japanese which are limited to 225 characters. A longer text string will be truncated. Required. Integer Voice ID, as listed in Appendix.

Required. Integer Language ID, as listed in Appendix Required. Integer Voice Family ID. See languages and voices listed listed in Appendix. effect Optional. Character. Audio effect one of: D Duration levels: -3, -2, -1, 1, 2, 3 P Pitch levels: -3, -2, -1, 1, 2, 3 S Speed levels: -3, -2, -1, 1, 2, 3 R Robotic: o Bullhorn level: 3 (note: levels 1 and 2 are deprecated) T Time: o Echo level: 1 o Reverb level: 2 o Flanger level: 3 o Phase level: 4 W Whisper levels: 1, 2, 3 effLevel Optional. Integer. Effect level must be provided if effect is provided. lang engine Example:
loadText(Hello World,1,1,1) loadText(Hello World,1,1,1,D,3)

setPlayerVolume (level)
Set playback volume, or mute the audio. Arguments: level Required. Integer (0-10) Default = 7. a value from 0 to 10; 0 is equivalent to mute, 1 is softest, 10 is loudest.

Example: setPlayerVolume(10) Note: Setting the volume to 0, does not stop playback or the audio stream. It affects only the volume . To stop playback, use the function stopSpeech().

2012 Oddcast Inc.

Revision 1.0 9/1/2012

stopSpeech ()
Stop audio playback in progress. If audio is not currently playing, stopSpeech has no effect (i.e. it does not prevent speech that has not yet begun). Arguments: None. Example: stopSpeech()

freezeToggle ()
Toggle between the pause and play states. If playback is in progress, it is paused. If playback is paused, it is resumed from the point it was paused. Arguments: None. Example: freezeToggle()

setStatus (interruptMode,progressInterval,reserved1,reserved2)
Set several status values which govern various aspects of playback. Arguments: interruptMode Required. Integer (0/1) Default = 0. If set to 0 consecutive audio playback function calls (sayText) are queued for consecutive playback. If set to 1 current audio is interrupted when sayText is called. progressInterval Required. Non-negative Integer Default = 0. The audio progress interval value controls progress callbacks which take place during playback. The callback function vw_audioProgress(percent_played)

2012 Oddcast Inc.

Revision 1.0 9/1/2012

is called during playback if the value of progressInterval is non-zero. The non-zero value determines the frequency of the call. The value must be an integer greater than or equal to 0. When greater than 0, the callback "vw_audioProgress(percent_played)" is triggered at the frequency specified by the number (in seconds). The callback returns the percent of the current audio that has played. Callbacks will continue for all subsequent audios played once this field is set. Set back to 0 for the callbacks to cease. reserved1 Required. Integer. Set to 0. reserved2 Required. Integer. Set to 0. Example: setStatus(1,0,0,0)

Status Callback Functions

Callback Functions can help improve coordination between playback and your page or application. Callback functions are supported in both Flash movies (ActionScript) and HTML pages (JavaScript). The syntax of the functions is the same in both cases, though the method of setting them up is different - please see below.

Embedding in an HTML page:

Events during playback trigger calls to specific JavaScript functions in your page, if such functions exist. To take advantage of these calls you must add the appropriate JavaScript functions to your page. Note that you do not need to add callback functions which you do not intend to use.

Embedding in a Flash movie:

ActionScript 2
Events during playback trigger calls to specific ActionScript functions in your movie, if such functions exist. To take advantage of these calls you must add the callback

2012 Oddcast Inc.

Revision 1.0 9/1/2012

functions within your movie at the _parent level. Note that you do not need to add callback functions which you do not intend to use.

ActionScript 3
To receive the status callbacks you need to register an event listener for each callback function. Heres an example of loading the content and registering as a listener for the vw_talkStarted event:
loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.loaderContentInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, setListeners); loader.load( /* your AS3 embed code here */ ); function setListeners():void { MovieClip(loader.content).addEventListener(vw_talkStarted,talkS tartedHandler); function talkStartedHandler():void{ trace(talk started); } }

vw_apiLoaded (apiID)
Triggered when the API is fully loaded. Use this callback to verify API is ready, prior to making any function calls. Arguments: The id of the api being loaded. Example - JavaScript & ActionScript2
apiID function vw_apiLoaded(apiID){ alert(the API is loaded); }

Example - ActionScript3
MovieClip(loader.content).addEventListener(vw_apiLoaded,ap iLoadedHandler); function apiLoadedHandler(event:*):void{ trace(api loaded. Id=+ event.data); }

vw_ttsLoaded (text)
Triggered when a Text-To-Speech audio preload is complete; returns the text that was provided as input to loadText. This callback is only triggered if loadText is called.

Revision 1.0 9/1/2012

Arguments: text preloaded audio text Example - JavaScript & ActionScript2

function vw_ttsLoaded(audio_text){ sayText(audio_text,2,1,1); }

Example - ActionScript3
MovieClip(loader.content).addEventListener(vw_ttsLoaded,ttsLoadedHandle r); function ttsLoadedHandler(event:*):void{ trace(text to speak: + event.data); }

vw_audioProgress (percentPlayed)
Called during playback, if and only if the progressInterval status is set. vw_audioProgress is repeatedly called at regular intervals during playback. The intervals are determined according to the value of the progressInterval status. See setStatus API call for information about how to set this value. This callback can be used to enable synchronization between playback and other events taking place at the same time. For example: highliting text segments, or visual elements on the page in coordination with speech playback. Arguments A value between 0 and 100 which indicated the proportion of audio already played. Example - JavaScript & ActionScript2
percentPlayed function vw_audioProgress(percentPlayed) { }

Example - ActionScript3
MovieClip(loader.content).addEventListener(vw_audioProgress,audi oProgHandler); function audioProgHandler(event:*):void{ trace(percent played: + event.data.percent); }

vw_talkStarted ()
Triggered when the audio playback begins. Example - JavaScript & ActionScript2
function vw_talkStarted(){ }

Example - ActionScript3

Revision 1.0 9/1/2012

MovieClip(loader.content).addEventListener(vw_talkStarted,talkS tartedHandler); function talkStartedHandler(event:*):void{ trace(talk started); }

vw_talkEnded ()
Triggered when audio playback is done. Example - JavaScript & ActionScript2
function vw_talkEnded(){ }

Example - ActionScript3
MovieClip(loader.content).addEventListener(vw_talkEnded,talkEnde dHandler); function talkEndedHandler ():void{ trace(talk ended); }

vw_audioStarted ()
Triggered when audio playback begins. Unlike vw_talkStarted() this event is fired for each audio playback in a sequence. In ActionScript3, the event contains a data property which provides direct references to the Sound object (event.data.sound) and the SoundChannel (event.data.sound_channel) to allow advanced control for as3 developers. Example - JavaScript & ActionScript2
function vw_audioStarted(){ }

Example - ActionScript3
MovieClip(loader.content).addEventListener(vw_audioStarted,audio StartedHandler); function audioStartedHandler(event:*):void{ var sound:Sound = event.data.sound; var sound_channel:SoundChannel = event.data.sound_channel; trace(audio started); }

vw_audioEnded ()

The HTTP REST API

The HTTP GEN Request

This HTTP request supports both GET & POST parameter passing. The syntax example below describes only the http GET request. Sample syntax: http://cache.oddcast.com/tts/gen.php?EID=2&LID=1&VID=2&TXT=Test+Message&IS _UTF8=1&EXT=mp3&FX_TYPE=p&FX_LEVEL=1&ACC=8879&SESSION=50cdbf7 c4e5d117dcb2efff424e10054&CS=ec1e9c6249980c208186bd64ce8ce6e1 Note: BOLD parameters are required Parameters EID LID VID TXT IS_UTF8 EXT FX_TYPE FX_LEVEL ACC SESSION CS Description Engine Id. Language Id. Voice Id. Text to be used for audio creation (Encoded) Flag indicating to use UTF8 characters set. 1 for true and 0 for false. Default 0. swf or mp3. Default mp3. Sound effect type. Default empty. Sound effect level. Default empty. Account id Used to verify the session (see Session Verification section) Checksum implemented as an md5 of all above parameter and secret word

CS = md5 (EID + LID + VID + TXT + IS_UTF8 + EXT + FX_TYPE + FX_LEVEL + ACC + SESSION + SECRET PHRASE) Return values: In case of success, mp3 or swf binary stream is returned. In case of failure one of the following error codes is returned. Error Code 100 101 102 103 Message No data found in request.

Session Verification
Session verification is an optional feature designed to protect your account. Heres how it works: When your application makes an HTTP GEN request, and if the checksum proves to be authentic, we make a return call to a predefined URL on your servers (the callback URL). You specify the callback URL for us to use, as part of your Vocalware account security settings. The call is an HTTP POST request, with two parameters your account ID and the session ID you provided in the GEN request. When we call you you may authorize the session, or refuse it. If the callback URL for the account is not setup, or if the Session parameter is not provided, then no callback attempt is made. If the callback URL for the account is not setup, checksum is calculated without the Session parameter even if present. We cache your responses. Subsequent GEN calls that provide the same session ID do not always generate a callback. Why use session verification? If your GEN requests originate from your server, there is no need to setup session verification. But if you are making GEN requests from a client application (i.e. a web page) then session verification is highly advisable to secure your account.

Example
Following sample page can serve as a test/review environment http://www.vocalware.com/support/examples/ttsgen.php

Generating the Checksum

To calculate the checksum, concatenate all the parameters in the order they appear in the documentation and add the secret word, which you may set up in your account. Apply the md5 one way function to the resulting string, to generate the checksum X, and append it to the parameter list as CS=X The checksum is created in the following way: CS = md5 (EID + LID + VID + TXT + IS_UTF8 + EXT + FX_TYPE + FX_LEVEL + ACC + SESSION + SECRET PHRASE) Note: TXT value should not be encoded for checksum computation. Leading or trailing spaces should be trimmed from the TXT value Optional parameters which are not used are to be omitted when computing the checksum.

Checksum Generation PHP Code Example

//Set optional value to empty if not given. $isUTF8 = (int)$_POST['IS_UTF8'] > 0 ? 1 : '';
