It accepts Telugu Unicode text (in UTF-8 encoding) as input and speaks out the text. It can be used along with a screen reader like gnopernicus which assists an illiterate by reading out the text on the screen. It also provides a diphone voice database of a male speaker. The system is ready for use with all the components in place. Please download [1], test the package and give us your feedback. The package is easy to install with only festival as a dependency. Developers interested in joining this project [2], could contact us. festival-te can be a good starting point to develop TTS systems for other Indian languages. We will be glad to be of assistance to the other language teams who are interested in doing this. Acknowledgements: The most critical component of this system which is the voice database has been provided under GPL by TeNeT group, speech team of IIT-M [3].
