eSpeak is a free and open-source, cross-platform, compact, software speech synthesizer.It uses a formant synthesis method, providing many languages in a relatively small file size. eSpeakNG (Next Generation) is a continuation of the original developer's project with more feedback from native speakers.
Scrub, search, and bookmark audio to find, recall and assemble segments of audio files; Spectral analysis (FFT), speech synthesis (text-to-speech), and voice changer; Audio restoration tools including noise reduction and click pop removal [4] Supports sample rates from 6 to 96 kHz, stereo or mono, 8, 16, 24 or 32 bits; Remove vocals from music ...
Gnopernicus uses these in a number of places: to know when text should and should not be interrupted, to better concatenate speech, and to sequence speech in different voices. Benchmarks conducted by Sun in 2002 on Solaris showed that FreeTTS ran two to three times faster than Flite at the time.
Speechify is a mobile, Chrome extension and desktop app that reads text aloud using a computer-generated text to speech voice. [1] [2] [3]The app also uses optical character recognition technology to turn physical books or printed text into audio which can be played in your own voice or in that of a celebrity.
Speech Recognition & Synthesis, formerly known as Speech Services, [3] is a screen reader application developed by Google for its Android operating system. It powers applications to read aloud (speak) the text on the screen, with support for many languages.
The major steps in producing speech from text are as follows: Structure analysis: Processes the input text to determine where paragraphs, sentences, and other structures start and end. For most languages, punctuation and formatting data are used in this stage. Text pre-processing: Analyzes the input text for special constructs of the language.
WaveNet is a deep neural network for generating raw audio. It was created by researchers at London-based AI firm DeepMind.The technique, outlined in a paper in September 2016, [1] is able to generate relatively realistic-sounding human-like voices by directly modelling waveforms using a neural network method trained with recordings of real speech.
Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) is an XML-based markup language for speech synthesis applications. It is a recommendation of the W3C's Voice Browser Working Group. SSML is often embedded in VoiceXML scripts to drive interactive telephony systems. However, it also may be used alone, such as for creating audio books.
