I want to load multiple languages to use IVONA SDK with SSML for iPhone.
There is no documentation for use in Xcode/objective-C, only the SDK itself is given and several C/java examples.
How can you load multiple languages for text to speach with IVONA SDK for iOS?
EDIT 1: see my code below
load the voices at first:
- (NSInteger) loadVoice: (NSString*) vox {
if(voice != nil) {
XLog(#"(voice != nil)");
[voice unload];
voice = nil;
}
NSString *pathIvona = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"%#", vox];
self.paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
self.documentsDirectory = [self.paths objectAtIndex:0];
self.path = [self.documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", pathIvona]];
voice = [[IvonaVoice alloc] init:instance withLibrary:self.path withVox:self.path];
[pathIvona release];
if (voice == nil) {
XLog(#"Cannot load voice");
[self setTtsError: #"Cannot load voice"];
return 0;
}
[voice setParam:#"vol" withInteger: 99];
return 1;
}
trying to load multiple languages to one streamer with (the streamer is still nil, it doesnt change):
NSArray *allVoices = [self getAvaliableVoxes];
/**
* Here the streamer is still nil,
* i cant find the mistake here.
*
*/
IvonaStreamer *streamer = [[IvonaStreamer alloc] initWithVoices:allVoices
withText:[NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:self.path
encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:&error] atSpeed:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:-1]];
Method getAvailableVoices:
- (NSArray*)getAvaliableVoxes {
XLog(#"-----------------------------------entered");
self.paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
self.documentsDirectory = [self.paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSFileManager *manager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSArray *fileList = [manager contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:[self.paths objectAtIndex:0] error:nil];
for (NSString *s in fileList){
//XLog(#"s: %#", s);
}
NSMutableArray *pathsIvona = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSEnumerator *e = [fileList objectEnumerator];
NSString *vox;
while (vox = [e nextObject]) {
if([[vox lastPathComponent] hasPrefix:#"vox_"]) {
XLog(#"vox: %#", vox);
[pathsIvona addObject: [vox lastPathComponent]];
XLog(#"pathsIvona: %#", pathsIvona);
}
}
XLog(#"pathsIvona: %#", pathsIvona);
return [pathsIvona autorelease];
}
How can you load multiple languages in one streamer on iOS with IVONA SDK?
perhaps the objects added to the array allVoices do not conform to the expected array of initWithVoices: ...

I'm using Xcode 9.2
something like this should do the trick (untested)
NSArray *keys = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:NSURLVolumeURLKey, NSURLIsVolumeKey, nil];
NSArray *volumeUrls = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] mountedVolumeURLsIncludingResourceValuesForKeys:keys options:NSVolumeEnumerationSkipHiddenVolumes];
for (NSURL *volumeUrl in volumeUrls)
{
BOOL mayBeBootVolume = NO;
NSString* pathToVolume = [volumeUrl path];
[self readFolder: [pathToVolume stringByAppendingString: #"/Applications"];
}
Using I AddressBook.framework I used to create Contacts.vcf from all contacts and save it in Documents Directory.
Here is the code I used to use :
ABAddressBookRef addressBook1 = ABAddressBookCreate();
NSArray *arrayOfAllPeople = (__bridge_transfer NSArray *) ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBook1);
long cnt = (unsigned long)[arrayOfAllPeople count];
if (cnt==0) {
ABAddressBookRequestAccessWithCompletion(addressBook1, nil);
}
if(ABAddressBookGetAuthorizationStatus() == kABAuthorizationStatusAuthorized)
{
ABAddressBookRef addressBook2 = ABAddressBookCreate();
CFArrayRef contacts = ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBook2);
CFDataRef vcards = (CFDataRef)ABPersonCreateVCardRepresentationWithPeople(contacts);
NSString *vcardString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:(__bridge NSData *)vcards encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *folderPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *filePath = [folderPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Contacts.vcf"];
[vcardString writeToFile:filePath atomically:YES encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
CFRelease(addressBook2); }
How do I create a Contacts.vcf file having all device contacts using Contacts.framework and save it in documents directory ?
You can use this method to get all the contacts in .vcf file. It return the same output that you get using AddressBook.framework.
- (void)getContacts {
NSMutableArray *contactsArray=[[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
CNContactStore *store = [[CNContactStore alloc] init];
[store requestAccessForEntityType:CNEntityTypeContacts completionHandler:^(BOOL granted, NSError * _Nullable error) {
if (!granted) {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
});
return;
}
NSMutableArray *contacts = [NSMutableArray array];
NSError *fetchError;
CNContactFetchRequest *request = [[CNContactFetchRequest alloc] initWithKeysToFetch:#[[CNContactVCardSerialization descriptorForRequiredKeys], [CNContactFormatter descriptorForRequiredKeysForStyle:CNContactFormatterStyleFullName]]];
BOOL success = [store enumerateContactsWithFetchRequest:request error:&fetchError usingBlock:^(CNContact *contact, BOOL *stop) {
[contacts addObject:contact];
}];
if (!success) {
NSLog(#"error = %#", fetchError);
}
// you can now do something with the list of contacts, for example, to show the names
CNContactFormatter *formatter = [[CNContactFormatter alloc] init];
for (CNContact *contact in contacts) {
[contactsArray addObject:contact];
// NSString *string = [formatter stringFromContact:contact];
//NSLog(#"contact = %#", string);
}
//NSError *error;
NSData *vcardString =[CNContactVCardSerialization dataWithContacts:contactsArray error:&error];
NSString* vcardStr = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:vcardString encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(#"vcardStr = %#",vcardStr);
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *folderPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *filePath = [folderPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"Contacts.vcf"];
[vcardStr writeToFile:filePath atomically:YES encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
}];
}
From iOS 9+ version AddressBookUI.framework and Addressbook.framework becomes deprecated. Apple introduced ContactUI.framework and Contact.framework with enhancements over AddressBookUI.framework and Addressbook.framework. In this blog we will talk about how to use these two new frameworks and export VCard. Let’s start picking contact from phone contacts and access basic information of that person.
Step 1. Create new Xcode project name ContactDemo and import Contacts.framework and ContactsUI.framework as shown in picture.
Step 2. In project add UIButton, UIImageView and 3 UILabels as shown in picture :
Step 3. Create outlets of button action, imageview and labels in respective view controller as :
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *personImage;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *personName;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *emailId;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *phoneNo;
- (IBAction)selectAction:(id)sender;
Step 4. Add delegate CNContactPickerDelegate to viewController.
Step 5. Add delegate method :
- (void) contactPicker:(CNContactPickerViewController *)picker
didSelectContact:(CNContact *)contact {
[self getContactDetails:contact];
}
This delegate method will return contact in the form of CNContact object which will be further processed in local method
-(void)getContactDetails:(CNContact *)contactObject {
NSLog(#"NAME PREFIX :: %#",contactObject.namePrefix);
NSLog(#"NAME SUFFIX :: %#",contactObject.nameSuffix);
NSLog(#"FAMILY NAME :: %#",contactObject.familyName);
NSLog(#"GIVEN NAME :: %#",contactObject.givenName);
NSLog(#"MIDDLE NAME :: %#",contactObject.middleName);
NSString * fullName = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# %#",contactObject.givenName,contactObject.familyName];
[self.personName setText:fullName];
if(contactObject.imageData) {
NSData * imageData = (NSData *)contactObject.imageData;
UIImage * contactImage = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:imageData];
[self.personImage setImage:contactImage];
}
NSString * phone = #"";
NSString * userPHONE_NO = #"";
for(CNLabeledValue * phonelabel in contactObject.phoneNumbers) {
CNPhoneNumber * phoneNo = phonelabel.value;
phone = [phoneNo stringValue];
if (phone) {
userPHONE_NO = phone;
}}
NSString * email = #"";
NSString * userEMAIL_ID = #"";
for(CNLabeledValue * emaillabel in contactObject.emailAddresses) {
email = emaillabel.value;
if (email) {
userEMAIL_ID = email;
}}
NSLog(#"PHONE NO :: %#",userPHONE_NO);
NSLog(#"EMAIL ID :: %#",userEMAIL_ID);
[self.emailId setText:userEMAIL_ID];
[self.phoneNo setText:userPHONE_NO];
}
Step 6. Create CNContactPickerViewController class object and register its delegate in button IBAction method :
- (IBAction) selectAction:(id)sender {
CNContactPickerViewController *contactPicker = [CNContactPickerViewController new];
contactPicker.delegate = self;
[self presentViewController:contactPicker animated:YES completion:nil];
}
[self presentViewController:contactPicker animated:YES completion:nil]; will present view of contact list.
Step 7. Run project
A . Main View
B. On Tapping “Select Contact” button CNContactPickerViewController will open as shown in picture :
C. Pick one contact and view will dismiss and you will get details of that contact as shown in picture :
Earlier we have write permission code to access contacts but now it implicitly grants permission for accessing contacts. With this framework we can also generate VCard(VCF) and share among other platforms. Here is the steps to create VCard.
Step 1. Pick contact from CNContactPickerViewController and you will get CNContact Object in delegate as mention above.
Step 2. Save contact in document directory. As data is stored in NSData form so to convert contact to NSData
use CNContactVCardSerialization class that represents VCard in NSData format.
- (NSString *) saveContactToDocumentDirectory:(CNContact *)contact {
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains (NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString * VCardPath = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingString:#"/VCard.vcf"];
NSArray *array = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:contact, nil];
NSError *error;
NSData *data = [CNContactVCardSerialization dataWithContacts:array error:&error];
[data writeToFile:VCardPath atomically:YES];
return VCardPath;
}
CNContactVCardSerialization class method dataWithContacts:error: takes array of contact objects(CNContact class Object).
saveContactToDocumentDirectory method will return the file path of Vcard. With File path you can export contact anywhere you want.

I'm having an issue properly accessing an NSDictionary built from Flickr data (the flickr.photosets.getPhotos call). Instead of just showing the content of a description tag, it reads the description tag… along with some unnecessary data and quotes.
For example:
NSLog (#"Item description readout: %#", itemDescriptionPre);
yields this response:
Item description readout: {
"_content" = "This is a caption from a photo drawn through Flickr";
}
I've tried to modify the NSString with this
NSString *descripTruncated = [itemDescriptionPre substringFromIndex:17];
But it didn't causes a crash at runtime. It also doesn't address the items at the end of the item. I apologize since NSString modifications seem to be talked about a lot here, but I couldn't find circumstances that mirror mine.
Here is some more context to my code:
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data
{
NSString *jsonString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(#"Storing incoming data");
NSDictionary *results = [jsonString JSONValue];
NSLog(#"Building NSDictionary.");
NSArray *photos = [[results objectForKey:#"photoset"] objectForKey:#"photo"];
NSLog(#"Building array from dictionary.");
// Loop through each entry in the dictionary...
for (NSDictionary *photo in photos)
{
NSString *title = [photo objectForKey:#"title"];
NSString *description = [photo objectForKey:#"description"];
[photoTitles addObject:title];
[photoDescriptions addObject:description];
}
NSLog(#"Nicer display for results: %# First image title: %# First image description: %#", results, [photoTitles objectAtIndex:0], [photoDescriptions objectAtIndex:0]);
[self updateDisplay];
}
-(void) updateDisplay{
NSString *capTitle = [[photoTitles objectAtIndex:0] uppercaseString];
photoTitleDisplay.text = capTitle;
NSString *itemDescriptionPre = [photoDescriptions objectAtIndex:0];
NSLog (#"Item description readout: %#", itemDescriptionPre);
}
itemDescriptionPre is actually an NSDictionary. This should work:
NSDictionary *itemDescriptionPre = [photoDescriptions objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *itemDescription = [itemDescriptionPre objectForKey:#"_content"];
Suppose I have a custom function called savePlist as below.
CommonClass.m
- (NSString *)getDirectoryPath
{
NSArray *pathList = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *path = [pathList objectAtIndex:0];
return path;
}
- (void)savePlist:(NSString *)fileName WithArray:(NSArray *)fileArr
{
NSString *path = [[self getDirectoryPath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
[fileArr writeToFile:path atomically:YES];
}
While I run a code as below, no plist is generated.
ABCAppDelegate.m
...
[cc savePlist:#"example.plist" WithArray:[NSArray new]];
The file of example.plist has not been generated, is there any mistakes on my code?
Thanks
UPDATE:
If I use the code as below, the xxx.plist file has been generated successfully.
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *plistFile = [[paths objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"abc.plist"];
NSMutableDictionary *plist = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:plistFile];
if (!plist) {
plist = [NSMutableDictionary new];
[plist writeToFile:plistFile atomically:YES];
NSLog(#"write plist");
}
Reference: link
UPDATE 2:
I change the code as below:
NSLog(#"code");
[cc savePlist:#"example.plist" WithArray:[NSArray new]];
NSLog(#"code");
- (void)savePlist:(NSString *)fileName WithArray:(NSArray *)fileArr
{
NSLog(#"fileName = %#, fileArr = %#", fileName, fileArr);
NSString *path = [[self getDirectoryPath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
NSLog(#"path = %#", path);
[fileArr writeToFile:path atomically:YES];
}
It just print out:
2011-10-10 14:24:00.560 ABC[3390:207] code
2011-10-10 14:24:00.561 ABC[3390:207] code
No message of fileName = and fileArr =, also path = print out on the log, so the code inside savePlist have not been executed?
It looks like your common class object is not instantiated, and you are sending all those messages to nil. Try logging cc in your app delegate code, where you call this method from.
You need to create an instance of your common class, something like
cc = [[CommonClass alloc] init];
(may vary depending on your set up).
I have made this little code to check how many subdirectories are in a given directory. It checks only the first level, is there anyway I can make it simplier? I have added comments, maybe easier to understand my intention. Thank you!
#import < Foundation/Foundation.h >
int main (int argc, const char * argv[]){
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
// insert code here...
NSFileManager *filemgr;
NSMutableArray *listOfFiles;
NSDictionary *listOfFolders;
NSDictionary *controllDir;
int i, count;
NSString *myPath;
filemgr = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
myPath = #"/";
// list the files in the given directory (myPath)
listOfFiles = [filemgr directoryContentsAtPath: myPath];
// count the number of elements in the array
count = [listOfFiles count];
// check them one by one
for (i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
// I need the full path
NSString *filePath =[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/%#", myPath, [listOfFiles objectAtIndex: i]];
// add every item with its attributes
listOfFolders = [filemgr attributesOfItemAtPath:filePath error:NULL];
// to avoid typo get the attribute and create a string
controllDir = [filemgr attributesOfItemAtPath:#"/" error:NULL];
NSString *toCheck = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", [controllDir objectForKey:NSFileType]];
// the folder elements one by one
NSString *fileType = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", [listOfFolders objectForKey:NSFileType]];
if([toCheck isEqualToString:fileType])
{
NSLog(#"NAME: %# TYPE: %#" ,[listOfFiles objectAtIndex:i],[listOfFolders objectForKey:NSFileType]);
}
}
[pool drain];
return 0;
}
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:#"/Users"];
NSError *error;
NSArray *items = [[NSFileManager defaultManager]
contentsOfDirectoryAtURL:url
includingPropertiesForKeys:[NSArray array]
options:0
error:&error];
NSMutableArray *dirs = [NSMutableArray array];
for (NSURL *url in items) {
if (CFURLHasDirectoryPath((CFURLRef)url)) {
[dirs addObject:url];
}
}
}
You can get fancy with blocks this way:
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithBlock:
^BOOL (id evaluatedObject, NSDictionary *bindings){
return CFURLHasDirectoryPath((CFURLRef)evaluatedObject); }];
NSArray *dirs = [items filteredArrayUsingPredicate:predicate]);
Of note here is that it only hits the disk the one time, and it doesn't spend any time fetching unneeded attributes. Once you construct the NSURL, you can always tell if it's a directory because it ends in a / (this is specified behavior). That's all CFURLHasDirectoryPath() is doing. It doesn't actually hit the disk.
Brief thoughts (posting from a cell phone):
use an NSDirectoryEnumerator.
it has a method called fileAttributes that will return an NSDictionary with the item's attributes.
NSDictionary has a fileType method that will return a constant to indicate the kind of the item.
there's a nice constant called NSFileTypeDirectory you can use for comparison.
How's this?
NSFileManager *fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSError *error;
NSArray *subpaths = [fm contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:myPath error:&error];
if (!subpaths) ...handle error.
NSMutableArray *subdirs = [NSMutableArray array];
for (NSString *name in subpaths)
{
NSString *subpath = [myPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:name];
BOOL isDir;
if ([fm fileExistsAtPath:subpath isDirectory:&isDir] &&
isDir)
{
[subdirs addObject:subpath];
}
}
Now the subdirs array contains all of the immediate subdirectories.
