I've only just got around to testing Google's automatic text to speech, and to be honest I'm a little disappointed by how machine-like and 1990s it still sounds. As I said I've been using this text to speech site (http://www.oddcast.com/home/demos/tts/ tts_tran_example.php?sitepal), which really sounds very good, so I thought the technology had improved much more than it has.
I'm guessing the site I'm using is not algorithmic text to speech but uses recorded human voices. I don't know if they have an API which would enable a plugin to be written for them as well, but I thought I'd mention the site for those interested. What do you language learners think? Impressed? Not impressed? (the text to speech functionality that is, not the translation which is still very dubious apart from the simplest of sentences) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
