Edit: The updated version of this app can be found in the newer thread: Forums/t=7678387/clientside-textt...utbox.html.
The app is now only client-side! Building the server is no longer required, and you can easily have the shoutbox speak to you with just one line of code! See the above link.
The Tech Game Text-To-Speech ShoutBox!
Tired of having the shoutbox open on half of your screen? Don't have two monitors? Have to step away from your computer for a bit? You don't want to miss out on the captivating conversation taking place in the shoutbox! Let your computer read aloud the shouts to you instead!
Here is a demo:
The code is available on GitHub at [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . Please see the README for installation and usage instructions.
How does it work?
With the shoutbox open in the current window, we execute a script that looks for changes in the shoutbox's div. Any new shouts are prepended to the div as children. The raw shout data is then sent to the server for processing. The server then speaks the cleaned up shout using the system's internal TTS engine and echos it back to the browser.
What else can it do?
The cool part is that we can get the server to do anything with the data. For example, we can run this program for several days to accumulate sample data, and then perform some basic statistics to find the lexical diversity of the shoutbox, or find the most common words in our vocabulary, or find the most common words to follow a word, etc. This method can be specified for a single user too.
No timestamps? No problem! (See: 1 2 3 4)
The client-side script also sends the timestamp of the shout (stored in the data-shout-time attribute) to the server. Check out the logs!
