Tip of the Month - Making a Virtual Interpreter

With help of Google Translator APIs, a SitePal character can translate a written text into a spoken message in another language. Try our Text to Speech Interpreter Demo to see this in action. The SitePal virtual interpreter can be an excellent tool for teaching a language or to communicate with an international audience.

We often get asked - so we decided to give out the details:

How to make my own virtual interpreter

Advanced users may already know about SitePal's ability to dynamically speak text. This is done via the sayText API demonstrated at http://www.oddcast.com/support/sayText.html. Along with the calls on this page, you must declare the 'Licensed Domain' where you authorize your scenes to speak dynamic audio.

Couple this ability with Google's translation APIs and your character can dynamically speak in most SitePal supported languages as shown at http://www.oddcast.com/support/translate_sayText_html.html.

The easiest way to do this is to use the JavaScript versions of the APIs. The most important lines are:

google.load("language", "1");
//which loades the translation APIs;

google.language.translate('your text here', "",speakIn, function(result) {
//translates the text that you provide;

if (!result.error) { var container = document.getElementById("translation");
//receives the new text string;

sayText(result.translation, 1, document.myForm.speakLanguage.value, speakEng);
//causes the character to speak the translated text;

} });
