Re: [orca-list] For info: GNU/Linux has a still better speech synthetiser



Hi, I have the same questions, plus also interested in availability of Brazilian Portuguese and Arabic.


Thanks,


Fernando

Hello,

The voices sound fine. Can you try to describe how well it's working with speech-dispatcher? Does the audio go through speech-dispatcher output modules? Can it be used with various backends e.g. with pulseaudio or plain alsa? Is it available to buy for personal use and how much does it cost or how is it licenced and protected against unauthorized copying? Is it likely more languages can be implemented in the future e.g. slavic languages like czech, slovak or polish?

Greetings

Peter

    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
    <http://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,
