Listing 4—Any task from the application “could speak” by calling the SpeakLumi function, but it would have to wait until another task was finished speaking.


int SpeakLumi(char* src){
  	if(NULL != p_cgen) return -1;	//the synthesizer is busy right now
  	p_cgen = (char*) src;    //this task get access to the synthesizer
  	MCUTranslate((char*) p_cgen);	//and start speaking
  	MCUCalcPitches(1);
  	MCUCalcLengths();
  	return 0;
