All,

The GNUspeech project has ported their applications to work under GNUstep!   
GNUspeech is a set of speech synthesis applications, their website is here: 

* http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuspeech/

I believe that this emphasizes GNUstep's cross-platform capabilities and would 
make an excellect showcase application for FOSDEM and other conferences.   We 
should also add this to the GNUstep success stories section of the wiki and on 
the main website. :)

Thanks, GC   :)

Hi Marcello,

That is excellent news!  Many thanks for your well-focussed and successful 
effort.  I shall look forward to firing it up at my end and trying it.  It will 
be good to deal with the audio output more effectively at some point in the 
future but presumably that could be handled -- as an interim measure -- by 
simply piping the output to play?  Then there's the need for a stripped version 
to provide a daemon to handle speech output as a service -- what Dalmazio has 
just done for the OS X version.

A more complete parser is also a priority.  That is something I will be 
discussing with Dalmazio, as I have some background material on the original 
parser & dictionary lookup, if it turns out to be needed (there's all the stuff 
in the repository that is relevant in connection with the original NeXT 
implementation).

I hope to put a preliminary version of OS X "Synthesizer" up on the repository 
shortly.  "Synthesizer" allows those interested to interact with the tube model 
directly (not producing speech of course) and see spectra of the sounds 
produced and play with all the parameters manually.  It is useful as a way of 
becoming familiar with the tube's behaviour, but more importantly, it provides 
a tool for helping to create the tube configurations needed for the sounds of 
arbitrary languages.

As you know, there's a "Synthesizer" manual on my university web site: 
http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~hill under "Published papers" in Section E.  
There's also a manual for "Monet" as well plus other useful stuff, of course.

Thanks again for your hard work.

Warm regards.

david
