A new site reviews software projects to reveal if they’re truly FOSS, making complex licensing and distribution models easy to understand.
A lightweight, cross-platform Ruby gem for text-to-speech functionality. RubiSpeech is designed for AI applications and natural language processing systems, with the ability to detect and adapt to different operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux).

package installedAdd this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'RubiSpeech'
And then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install RubiSpeech
require 'my_speech_library'
# Simple usage - speak text immediately
MySpeechLibrary.talk("Hello, world!")
require 'my_speech_library'
# Create a speech instance
speech = MySpeechLibrary::Speech.new
# Speak some text
speech.talk("Hello, I'm speaking using RubiSpeech library")
# Check the current operating system
current_os = speech.current_os
puts "Current operating system: #{current_os}"
require 'my_speech_library'
# Create a new instance
speaker = MySpeechLibrary::Speech.new
# Phrases to speak
phrases = [
"Welcome to the Ruby world",
"This is a text-to-speech library",
"Works on Windows, Mac, and Linux"
]
# Speak each phrase with a time interval
phrases.each do |phrase|
speaker.talk(phrase)
sleep(2) # Wait for 2 seconds between phrases
end
require 'my_speech_library'
# Use the OS detector directly
os_detector = MySpeechLibrary::OSDetector.new
puts "Is the system Windows? #{os_detector.windows?}"
puts "Is the system macOS? #{os_detector.macos?}"
puts "Is the system Linux? #{os_detector.linux?}"
# Use the speaker directly
speaker = MySpeechLibrary::Speaker.new(os_detector)
speaker.speak("This is a test using the Speaker class directly")
require 'my_speech_library'
def translate_and_speak(text, language)
# This is a hypothetical translation example (in a real app, you'd need a translation service)
translated = case language
when :english
"This is translated to English: " + text
when :french
"C'est traduit en français: " + text
else

end
# Speak the translated text
MySpeechLibrary.talk(translated)
end
# Use the function
