Perform the text to speech synthesis operation for the given sentence or SSML text.
Function
- LV_TTS_RETURN_CODE Synthesize(const char * universal_resource_locator, unsigned int flags)
Parameters
universal_resource_locator
URL containing a simple sequence of words/sentences or an SSML document.
Ideally, the referenced document should be encoded in UTF-8 format
flags
Used to control certain facets of the operation. Mostly unused in the current implementation besides LV_TTS_BLOCK. Setting theLV_TTS_BLOCK bit in flags causes the call to wait for a response back from the TTS server before returning. If the LV_TTS_BLOCK flag is not specified, the synthesis will be performed in non-blocking mode, and calls to LVTTSClient::WaitForSynthesis can be used to determine when the synthesis operation has completed.
Return Values
LV_SUCCESS
No errors; synthesis succeeded.

LV_NO_COMPATIBLE_TTS_SERVERS
Either none of the connected TTS servers carry a voice corresponding to the requested features, or no TTS servers are available at the time.
LV_SYSTEM_ERROR
