All of the voices in this video came from an open source text to speech program I am working on. I'm trying to generate reasonably high quality speech by the following:

• Each word of each voice was spoken by an actual human.
• There are multiple alternatives for many words - Depending on which alternative is selected a word can be spoken quickly, slowly, emphatically, and so on.
• I've started to include some short phrases, which will eliminates the need in some cases for hunting around for a group of words that sound well together.

Although the quality is not as good as that from human voice actors, it is continuing to improve as I work on it, and I like it better than synthetic text to speech voices that I've heard.]]> Sat, 17 Oct 2015 23:05:45 GMT
