如何以编程方式组合.wav文件？

Question

I would like to play some kind of text-to-speech with only numbers. I can record 10 wav files, but how can I combine them programmatically ?

For instance, the user types 1234, and the text-to-speech combines 1.wav with 2.wav, 3.wav and 4.wav to produce 1234.wav that plays "one two three four".

Answer 1

1) create a new destination sample buffer (you will want to know the sizes).

2) read the samples (eg using AudioFile and ExtAudioFile APIs) and write them in sequence to the buffer. You may want to add silence between the files.

It will help if your files are all the same bit depth (the destination bit depth - 16 should be fine) and sample rate.

Alternatively, if you have fixed, known, sample rates and bit depths for all files, you could just save them as raw sample data and be done in much less time because you could simply append the data as is without writing all the extra audio file reading programs.

Answer 2

The open source project wavtools provides a good reference for this sort of work, if you're ok with perl. Otherwise there is a similar question with some java examples.

Answer 3

The simplist common .wav (RIFF) file format just has a 44 byte header in front of raw PCM samples. So, for these simple types of .wav files, you could just try reading the files as raw bytes, removing the 44 byte header from all but the first file, and concatening the samples. Or just play the concatenated samples directly using the Audio Queue API.
