Bug#971008: ITP: world-vocoder -- high-quality speech analysis, manipulation and synthesis system

[Tobias Platen]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

The package is hosted at https://github.com/mmorise/World
and licenced under the 3-clause BSD license. I'm going to use
the WORLD vocoder for building MBROLA voices.

Bug#943886: mbrola: Binary number format error for all de1

[Tobias Platen]

Package: mbrola
Version: 3.02b+dfsg-4
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

Mbrola fails to load the voice database, it is currently not usable on ppc64el.

mbrola de1 TEST/weather.pho test.wav
Binary number format error
You are probably using a version of de1 incompatible
with your machine architecture.
Get the right one from the MBROLA project homepage :

vConnect-STAND is a singing synthesizer that can be used with Cadencii.
Cadencii is already part of Debian.

Bug#802902: RFS: vconnectstand/2.0.1 ITP

[Tobias Platen]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

  Dear mentors,

  I am looking for a sponsor for my package "vconnectstand"

 * Package name: vconnectstand
   Version : 2.0.1
   Upstream Author : Hal@shurabaP,kbinani
 * URL : http://hal-the-cat.music.coocan.jp/ritsu_e.html
 * License : GPLv3
   Section : sound

  It builds those binary packages:

vconnectstand - singing synthesis engine

  To access further information about this package, please visit the following
URL:

  http://mentors.debian.net/package/vconnectstand


  Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

dget -x 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/v/vconnectstand/vconnectstand_2.0.1.dsc

  This is the first uploaded version of vconnectstand, I don't think that any
update will follow. This program is a Japanese singing synthesizer based on a
technique that is similar to the algorithms that MBROLA uses. Some sound
examples can be found at
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EMjbm39x40
 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLqALKuO2R4

Bug#801414: ITP: world -- WORLD is a high-quality speech analysis/synthesis system on the basis of Vocoder.

[Tobias Platen]

Package: wnpp
Owner: Tobias Platen <tob...@platen-software.de>
Severity: wishlist

* Package name : world
  Version : 0.2.0_4
  Upstream Author : Masanori Morise
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description : WORLD is a high-quality speech analysis/synthesis 
system on the basis of Vocoder.


WORLD was proposed to synthesize high-quality speech as natural as the 
input speech. The purpose of WORLD is reducing the computational cost of 
TANDEM-STRAIGHT without deterioration. WORLD is superior to 
TANDEM-STRAIGHT in implementing the real-time singing synthesis, whereas 
it is inferior to TANDEM-STRAIGHT in manipulating consonant flexibly. 
Since the concept of WORLD differs from that of TANDEM-STRAIGHT, you 
should select them based on your purpose.


I'm using WORLD to build a free software replacement for both 
MBROLA(multilingual speech synthesizer) and VOCALOID/UTAU(Japanese 
singing synthesizer). I've found Paul Liu as a sponsor/maintainer and I 
ask the Debian Debian-Accessibility team for co-mainantainers.
The dsc is at
