Resources

• Old DecTalk Source Code

TODO

• Add documentation.
• Add TypeScript support.
• Figure out a way to add in the TextToSpeechAddBuffer and callback functions.
  • seriously this is a pain in my aeiou. The function for the callback does not allow any sort of captures, so i cannot pass any pointer so that it can call a javascript function. I have no idea how to do this.
