Interesting. Do you have any sound-samples? --[[User:Dutchmega|dutchmega]] 10:34, 14 Aug 2006 (PDT) | Interesting. Do you have any sound-samples? --[[User:Dutchmega|dutchmega]] 10:34, 14 Aug 2006 (PDT) | ||
:Dutchmega, in my user page is a link to a [http://infolab.northwestern.edu/#projects/40---people/116 News at Seven] page that has a video of our current system; it uses the same TTS stuff as the code in this page. You can watch the video (it's less than 20 megs, I believe) to get a good idea of how good the voices can sound. The only modification we're doing right now to the stock SAPI speech is a small, hardcoded dictionary of transformations for hard-to-pronounce phrases (ie, 'al Qaeda' becomes 'all chi de', etc.) In the future, we have plans to vary the speech produced based on the content/affectation of the text, but right now it's just basic TTS. If I get a chance, I'll post some actual sound samples later. Thanks.--[[User:Ndnichols|Ndnichols]] 07:05, 21 Aug 2006 (PDT) | |||
