Speechify POC

The Setup

API

• The code for the api is in the api directory. This piece is basically responsible for sending a random response from the array defined in data.js.
• The api returns a response in form of a JSON object containing contents. The content string is in form of a subset of SSML that is defined later here.

APP

Goal

• Create an app that calls an api to fetch SSML content and then synthesizes this content into speech and renders a sentence and word UI for the same.

SSML

• The API returns the content in form of an SSML string. This string will only contain a subset of SSML features: <speak>, <p>, <s>.
• The assignment only requires focus on the <s>element which defines the beginning and the end of the sentences.
• To complete this assignment, you must extract all the sentences from the SSML files ignoring everything else that is invalid.
