Bug 250628 – [GStreamer] Implement Speech Synthesis with Flite

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[ChangSeok Oh]

Let's discuss the web speech synthesis for ports using gstreamer here.

We have a working branch: https://github.com/shivamidow/WebKit/tree/eng/speech-synthesis-with-gst-flite

This patch passed 22 / 26 webkit tests in fast/speechsynthesis. 4 test failed due to crash and unknown reasons. We need to investigate it more.

I don't want to delay this patch for further bug fixes. It is itself a huge chunk so I suggest splitting the web speech synthesis support into some phases.

Phase 1. Support build and basic functionalities (e.g., play, stop, pause, cancel) -> the current patch
Phase 2. Fix bugs on layout tests (fast/speechsynthesis) and enable the tests
Phase 3. Further bug fixes as we find new ones.

@philn, thought?

Or we can enable fast/speechsynthesis in phase 1 but add failed 4 tests as exceptions to fix later.

Without GStreamer usage from UIProcess?

Yes. That was fixed already. =)
