Omg I'd love to do this. But someone else do it first? Because I just know I
won't understand it. Lol.

Just thought I'd forward this on from someone who forwarded it from
another list, (does that make sense? thought not! :)
but this sounds so cool and I'm off to try make my own voice! :)

Hi,
I just found a very interesting website and thought I'd pass it on as it
can or since it's sapi5, this software, can be used with window-eyes and
or jaws. Ok. I'll explain a little first. Suppose you wanted to add your
own voice to the library or portfoleo of voices or voice fonts in the
ATNT natural voices speech synthesizer. Well you'd have to pay thousands
of dollars. But thanks to the website:
http://www.asel.udel.edu/speech/ModelTalker.html
you can now do it, at least temporarily, for free! The speech synthesizer
is called model talker. And you can create new voices with it by using
your very own voice, a microphone, and your very own computer. There's
good documentation with it that explains what to read and how to read it.
If you spend the time. You can make a voice that sounds as good or better
than the cepstral voices, or, you can create a voice that sounds as bad
or a little worse than microsoft text to speech mary mike and sam voices.
But with a little effort. Window-eyes and jaws, since this speech is
sapi5 compatible. window-eyes and jaws can now talk in your own voice! or
whose-ever voice you decide to record and turn into a voice font.
Enjoy and have fun creating voices. I myself signed up to their mailing
list and to be a beta tester of upcoming versions of the software.
