Hi,
I had introduced here one year ago kali-tts, that you did feedbacks that it was not much better than Mbrola. And I think you are right.
But on September, Hypra released a new voice category based on Voxygen. You can test then on www.voxygen.fr. It is in French, but simple: search for "test" string, or press c to reach the combo box with testable choices. Then, choose it, and it will display a sentence in the appropriate language, and you can change it. You cannot change tts parameters, but you can get a trial release in your language contacting Hypra. Here packs and persons: - French: Agnès, Arnaud, Fabienne, Lionel, Philippe - English UK:Bronwen, Elizabeth, Freddy, Judith, Paul - English US:Amanda, Bruce, Jenny, Phil - Italian:Luca, Sonia - Spanish:Martha, Pedro - German may be available as well.Any test is welcome. I think we really reach a high level of quality naturally speaking, next to Akapela or Nuance. Of course and unfortunately, such engines are not free. But they make free software accessible to a larger number of persons. And of course, Hypra made speech-dispatcher module, and this is free software (in progress in its integration in the code). Best regards, --
