Re: Making A Tts Voice?
I've found it easier to just cut up recordings and piece words and phrases back together. Sometimes, the results even sound natural (but usually you can tell it's been edited). It helps to have a large database of words/phrases; cutting them up, and getting your sorta-kinda-TTS to identify which is best to use in a given situation is complicated, however.
(One could presumably turn such a program into a sapi5-compatible voice with some c++ header magic and getting it to implement all the required functions, but that's more than I'm willing to do for the uses I've needed. Conceivably, you could get a programmer to handle the program itself, but it will inevitably be too dubious quality for how much anyone would charge for the headache of coding it to be sapi compatible.)
