Hello everyone.
Text to speech... what are your favorite engines/GUIs/voices/settings?
I am currently working on a project that I will need to use text to speech, I
have been testing around with Gespeaker, and using settings as follow:
Language: english_rp
Voice: male
Pitch: 27
Volume: 89
Speed: 170
Delay: 6
It is tolerable for a short period of time, you can listen to it as it speaks
in a clear way, but the sound has a lot of "hiss" and "roboticness". Is not
something you want to listen for a long period of time. Since the
presentation I am trying to build will be around 10 mins, I was wondering if
one can do something to have a "better voice". I first searched MBrola, but
that is not free software (voices are binary only). I also heard of festival,
but apparently you can't use it through a GUI, which means it is not very
easy to change settings and make small tests in a single piece of text.
I don't know any other text to speech free software. I would be willing to
use a website that provides a good service as long as it was free (and had no
words limits, since it is a big presentation).
Or if you know how to improve Gespkear, please let me know :)
