TTS Importer's bridging role
TTS Importer, an open source middleware, builds a technical channel between Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services and mainstream reading applications. The project transforms the commercial-grade speech synthesis capabilities of Azure TTS (including neural speech and custom speech functions) into a service interface that can be directly invoked by reading software through a standardized API docking protocol. The technical implementation is designed with a modular architecture, with the core modules containing the Azure Authentication Processor, SSML Converter and Audio Stream Processing components, which work together to ensure up to 99.9% API request success rate.
The project supports 7 mainstream reading software including Legado and Source Reading, covering both Android and iOS platforms. Actual integration tests show that compared to directly docking the Azure API, the use of TTS Importer can shorten the configuration time by 80%, while exempting the developer from dealing with the underlying logic of audio codecs, network retries and so on. It is worth noting that the project uses the MIT open source protocol to allow secondary development of commercial applications, which significantly reduces the threshold for small and medium-sized reading applications to access enterprise-level TTS services.
