- The Draft FAQ includes the following entry.
-
- Package: Text to Speech program
- Platform: Sun SPARC
- Description: Text to speech program based on concatenation of pre-recorded
- speech segments. A function library can be used to integrate
- speech output into other code.
- Hardware: SPARC audio I/O
- Availablity: by FTP from "wilma.cs.brown.edu" as /pub/speak.tar.Z
-
-
- The output is pretty rough but useful for many applications.
-
- There is a very good synthesis system for SPARCs (and some other UNIX platforms)
- called "Orator". I am trying to get details for the FAQ at the moment.
