It takes a list of phonemes as input, together with prosodic -information (duration of phonemes and a piecewise linear description -of pitch), and produces speech samples on 16 bits (linear), at the -sampling frequency of the diphone database. - -It is therefore NOT a Text-To-Speech (TTS) synthesizer, since it does -not accept raw text as input. In order to obtain a full TTS system, -you need to use this synthesizer in combination with a text processing -system that produces phonetic and prosodic commands. - -This software is the heart of the MBROLA project, the aim of which is -to obtain a set a speech synthesizers for as many languages as -possible, free of use for non-commercial applications. - -As such, it requires an MBROLA language/voice database to run -properly. American English, Brazilian Portuguese, Breton, British -English, Croatian, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Romanian, Spanish and -Swedish voices are made available. Additional languages and voices -will be available in the context of the MBROLA project. - -Some of these voices are available as mbrolavox-* packages, in the -NetBSD packages system. For others, please consult the mbrola -project's home page. |
