Description [src]
final class Spiel.Speaker : GObject.Object {
/* No available fields */
}A virtual speaker for speech synthesis
The SpielSpeaker class represents a single “individual” speaker. Its
primary method is spiel_speaker_speak() which queues utterances to be spoken.
This class also provides a list of available voices provided by DBus speech providers that are activatable on the session bus.
SpielSpeaker‘s initialization may perform blocking IO if it the first
instance in the process. The default constructor is asynchronous
(spiel_speaker_new()), although there is a synchronous blocking
alternative (spiel_speaker_new_sync()).
Available since: 1.0

Methods inherited from GAsyncInitable (3)
g_async_initable_init_async
Starts asynchronous initialization of the object implementing the
interface. This must be done before any real use of the object after
initial construction. If the object also implements GInitable you can
optionally call g_initable_init() instead.
unstable since: 2.22
g_async_initable_init_finish
Finishes asynchronous initialization and returns the result. See g_async_initable_init_async().
unstable since: 2.22
g_async_initable_new_finish
Finishes the async construction for the various g_async_initable_new
calls, returning the created object or NULL on error.
