78 * one that called sayText or synthText.
79 * If the plugin cannot stop an in-progress @ref sayText or
80 * @ref synthText operation, it must not block waiting for it to complete.
81 * Instead, return immediately.
83 * If a plugin returns before the operation has actually been stopped,
84 * the plugin must emit the @ref stopped signal when the operation has
87 * The plugin should change to the psIdle state after stopping the
90 virtual void stopText();
93 * Return the current state of the plugin.
94 * This function only makes sense in asynchronous mode.
95 * @return The pluginState of the plugin.
99 virtual pluginState
getState();
102 * Acknowledges a finished state and resets the plugin state to psIdle.
104 * If the plugin is not in state psFinished, nothing happens.
105 * The plugin may use this call to do any post-processing cleanup,
106 * for example, blanking the stored filename (but do not delete the file).
107 * Calling program should call getFilename prior to ackFinished.
109 virtual void ackFinished();
112 * Returns True if the plugin supports asynchronous processing,
113 * i.e., returns immediately from sayText or synthText.
114 * @return True if this plugin supports asynchronous processing.
116 * If the plugin returns True, it must also implement @ref getState .
117 * It must also emit @ref sayFinished or @ref synthFinished signals when
118 * saying or synthesis is completed.
120 virtual bool supportsAsync();
123 * Returns True if the plugin supports synthText method,
