Interface Speakable --- Generic Speakable objects. Producing good quality spoken output requires knowledge of the content. Such knowledge includes: Custom parsing rules for determining clause boundaries. Custom pronunciation rules. In general, it is not practical for a generic Speaker object to be aware of every type of speakable content. Examples of Speakable content include: Email messages. Web pages. Electronic books. Program source code in different languages. Interface Speakable is defined as a light-weight interface that can be extended and customize by different content-types. The default implementation provides a generic parser and pronunciation dictionary. Objects implementing Interface Speakable can be passed to method Speaker.render to produce well-formatted auditory output. Methods defined by Interface Speakable: Speakable objects implement a generic iterator/generator interface so that one can write code within method Speaker.render of the form: for clause in SpeakableParagraph:s.say(clause) This allows object Speaker to chunk content in a manner appropriate to the content-type being spoken. Within the implementation of the iterator, one can customize how a particular `clause` is rendered by applying custom pronunciation rules.
