Festival Speech Synthesis System
Hello all.
I would like to recommend the following software i have stumble
upon latly (After heavy searching).
from the user manual:
" Festival offers a general framework for building speech synthesis systems
as well as including examples
of various modules. As a whole it offers full text to speech through
a number APIs: from shell level, though a Scheme command interpreter,
as a C++ library, and an Emacs interface. Festival is
multi-lingual (currently English (UK and US), Spanish and Welsh)
though English is the most advanced.
The system is written in C++ and uses the Edinburgh
Speech Tools for low level architecture and has a
Scheme (SIOD) based command interpreter for control. Documentation is
given in the FSF texinfo format
which can generate a printed manual, info files and HTML.
The latest details and a full software distribution
of the Festival Speech Synthesis System are available
through its home page which may be found at
http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival.html "
All in all, if you have some time, or just want to
learn somethnig new, you will probebly find it very intersting
and educational (i found it very amuzing to combine procmail, shell scripting
and what the software offers, to listen to my mailer asking me if i would like
to hear a mail messages).
