28 Jan 07 More development for Symbian

I think you do not know, but I`m a Java developer, and I like to develop applications for m cell phone …

I`m starting to write an application to just tell me “what time is it”.
But I`m not finding a solution for the TTS API (Text To Speech), and the only solution I have found is to record the strings (one o`clock, two …) and minutes in intervals of 5.

The talking clock would tel you some thing like: It is a little after two hours and five minutes.

The main idea behind this app is that I carry my N80 in my backpack, or hip-pocket depending on the day. and when I want to know what time is it, I need to open my backpack for example, and search for the phone, even if I`m already using it to listen to some MP3 …

And I want to just press the earphone button and say: what time is it?
and the phone should tell me the time.

What do you think about a simple app like this one?

well, I`m starting to write it. it will be a Java ME application.

    hello ,

    I think that it will be useful for you learning Python because PyS60 include TTS now !!!
    So your app can be very easy now !

    Look at the new PyS60 1.3.17
    N80 supports this undocumented feature :
    import audio
    audio.say(u’Hello world !’)
    Passes the text to the device text-to-speech engine. The default prefix is the text-to-speech prefix
    “(tts)”.
