Hi Santhosh

Yes I am intrested.I thought orca is the only software to start with the Indian language but dhvani is also such project where we can work for our languages.I can work on Hindi and I have tamil friends too who will help me in Tamil and moreover I speak oriya so i feel i can try in that too.But I am well versed in Hindi.So please let me know how to proceed with the things.I am going through the documentation part of the website at present.

Hi Nirupama,
Regarding the text to speech system for Indic languages, there is a GPL-ed application named dhvani. You can see more details from http://dhvani.sourceforge.net. It currently supports 10 Indian languages. It is designed to incorporate the linguistic rules of Indian languages to TTS. Even though it is not matured as Espeak or Festival, you can try that and contribute to it.

Currently I am working to integrate it to Speech-Dispatcher and there by to Orca. Contact me if you  are interested in contributing to Dhvani project.


Thanks
Santhosh Thottingal
