Speech Dispatcher is a device independent layer
for speech synthesis, developed with the goal of
making the usage of speech synthesis easier for
application programmers. It takes care of most of
the tasks necessary to solve in speech-enabled
applications. What a very high level GUI library
is to graphics, Speech Dispatcher is to speech
synthesis. The architecture is based on a proven
client/server model. The basic means of client
communication is through a TCP connection using
the Speech Synthesis Independent Protocol (SSIP),
or through an interface library.
