My bad, that's not quite what I meant :) The TTS library that comes with Android is open source, and part of Android, but the data packages are unmodifiable because only some of the tools are open source. That said, eSpeak is an option, and it should be a relatively easy option - the source is included in the broader set of Android external packages, and there are prebuilt packages from Eyes Free. CMU Flite is also an option (https://github.com/happyalu/Flite-TTS-Engine-for-Android), though it would be quite a lot of effort to add support for a language other than English (it can convert Festival data, but Festival code (LTS rules, etc.) would need to be ported from Scheme to C), but on the upside, it's capable of very high quality synthesis. -- <Sefam> Are any of the mentors around? <jimregan> yes, they're the ones trolling you ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Minimize network downtime and maximize team effectiveness.
