eSpeak. 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. Because of its small size and many ...
DECtalk demo recording using the Perfect Paul and Uppity Ursula voices. DECtalk [4] was a speech synthesizer and text-to-speech technology developed by Digital Equipment Corporation in 1983, [1] based largely on the work of Dennis Klatt at MIT, whose source-filter algorithm was variously known as KlattTalk or MITalk. [5] [6]
A computer system used for this purpose is called a speech synthesizer, and can be implemented in software or hardware products. A text-to-speech (TTS) system converts normal language text into speech; other systems render symbolic linguistic representations like phonetic transcriptions into speech. The reverse process is speech recognition.
Software Automatic Mouth, or S.A.M. (sometimes abbreviated as SAM), is a speech synthesis program developed by Mark Barton and sold by Don't Ask Software. The program was released for the Atari 8-bit computers, Apple II, and Commodore 64. Released in 1982, it was one of the first commercial all-software voice-synthesis programs. [citation needed]
The use of synthesized speech has increased due to the creation of software that takes advantage of the user's existing computers and smartphones. AAC apps like Spoken or Avaz are available on Android and iOS, providing a way to use a speech-generating device without having to visit a doctor's office or learn to use specialized machinery. In ...
Sinewave synthesis. Sinewave synthesis, or sine wave speech, is a technique for synthesizing speech by replacing the formants (main bands of energy) with pure tone whistles. The first sinewave synthesis program ( SWS) for the automatic creation of stimuli for perceptual experiments was developed by Philip Rubin at Haskins Laboratories in the 1970s.
speechify .com. 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. [4] [5] The app lets users take photos of text and then listen to it read out loud.
In April 2023, Suno released their open-source text-to-speech and audio model called "Bark" on GitHub and Hugging Face, under the MIT License. On March 21, 2024, Suno released its v3 version for all users. The new version allows users to create a limited number of 2-minute songs using a free account.
