Debian Accessibility Speech synthesis packages

Daisy-player is a command-line player for talking books based on the Digital Accessible Information System protocol. It is comparable in functionality, features, and ease of use with commercial players, and has a simple user interface appropriate for Braille terminals.

EFlite is a speech server for Emacspeak and other screen readers that allows them to interface with Festival Lite, a free text-to-speech engine developed at the CMU Speech Center as an off-shoot of Festival.

Due to limitations inherited from its backend, EFlite does only provide support for the English language at the moment.

eSpeak은 영어 및 기타 다른 언어를 위한 음성 합성 소프트웨어 입니다.

eSpeak는 좋은 품질에 영어 음성을 만듭니다. 이 프로그램은 서로 다른 오픈소스 text to speech (TTS) 엔진에서 다른 합성 방법을 사용하며, 그리고 전혀 다른 소리가 납니다. 아마도 자연스럽거나 부드럽지는 않겠지만, 그러나 일부는 오랬 동안 듣고 있으면 발음이 명료하고 쉽게 들리는 것을 찾을 수 있습니다.

eSpeak은 파일 또는 표준 입력으로 text를 말하기위해 명령행 프로그램으로 실행할 수도 있습니다.

• 특성을 변경할 수 있도록, 다른 음색을 포함합니다.
• WAV 파일로 음성 출력을 만들 수 있습니다.
• 텍스트를 음소 코드로 번역할 수 있으며, 그래서 다른 음성 합성 엔진에 대한 프론트앤드로 구성될 수도 있습니다.
• 다른 언어에 대한 잠재성. 40 이상의 언어를 포함합니다.
• 작은 사이즈. 프로그램과 데이타 총 350kbytes 정도입니다.
• C++로 개발.

Flite is a small fast run-time speech synthesis engine. It is the latest addition to the suite of free software synthesis tools including University of Edinburgh's Festival Speech Synthesis System and Carnegie Mellon University's FestVox project, tools, scripts and documentation for building synthetic voices. However, flite itself does not require either of these systems to run.

It currently only supports the English and Indic languages.

This package contains the executables and documentation.

Speech Dispatcher provides a device independent layer for speech synthesis. It supports various software and hardware speech synthesizers as backends and provides a generic layer for synthesizing speech and playing back PCM data via those different backends to applications.

Various high level concepts like enqueueing vs. interrupting speech and application specific user configurations are implemented in a device independent way, therefore freeing the application programmer from having to yet again reinvent the wheel.

This package contains Speech Dispatcher itself.

This package contains the various highly useful utility programs that use and accompany the Edinburgh Speech Tools Library. Audio software and some basic signal processing software is included in this package.

The following programs are available: na_play: generic playback program for use with net_audio and CSTR ao. ch_wave: Waveform file conversion program. ch_lab: label file conversion program. ch_track: Track file conversion program. wagon: a CART tree build and test program

See /usr/share/doc/speech-tools/README for detail list of programs available.

This package provides Russian support to Festival speech synthesis system.

FreeTTS는 전체를 Java(TM) 프로그래밍 언어로 개발한 음성 합성 시스템입니다. 이는 Carnegie Mellon 대학에서 개발한 런타임 음성 합성 엔진인 Flite를 기반으로 합니다. Flite는 Edinburgh 대학의 Festival Speech Synthesis System과 Carnegie Mellon 대학의 FestVox 프로젝트에서 파생되었습니다.

Gespeaker is a GTK+ frontend for eSpeak and mbrola. It allows one to play a text in many languages with settings for voice, pitch, volume, speed and word gap.

Since version 0.6 it can use mbrola package and voices to obtain a more realistic text reading experience.

Recite is a program to do speech synthesis. The quality of sound produced is not terribly good, but it should be adequate for reporting the occasional error message verbally.

Given some English text, recite will convert it to a series of phonemes, then convert the phonemes to a sequence of vocal tract parameters, and then synthesise the sound a vocal tract would make to say the sentence. Recite can perform a subset of these operations, so it can be used to convert text into phonemes, or to produce an utterance based on vocal tract parameters computed by another program.

Sonic은 wav 파일을 읽고 쓰는 매우 간단한 유틸리티로 적은 왜곡으로 파일 속도를 높이거나 낮춥니다. 다른 라이브러리와 비교해서 Sonic에 새로운 주요 기능으로 재생 속도를 2배 이상으로 높여도 퀄리티가 매우 높다는 것 입니다.

This package contains dependencies on packages necessary for running Speech Dispatcher with Festival.

This Text-To-Speech (TTS) engine speaks French; a preliminary English support is also offered. The engine uses context-sensitive rules to produce phonemes from the text. It relies on MBROLA to generate actual audio output from the phonemes. The TTS engine is implemented using the Python programming language.

The upstream authors have come up with this TTS to try and meet their own needs as blind users. It's designed to be plugged as output to some screen-review software, firstly with BRLTTY. They favor speed and intelligibility over perfect pronunciation. Cicero is aimed to have a quick response time, the ability to quickly shut-up and skip to another utterance, intelligibility where it counts (not perfect pronunciation), the ability to track speech progression, relative simplicity (hackability) and relative small code size.

The GNOME Speech library gives a simple yet general API for programs to convert text into speech, as well as speech input.

This package provides the source code required to compile a driver for the commercial DECtalk software speech synthesis engine and voices from Fonix (http://www.fonix.com/). Upon installation, it will automatically attempt to compile and install the dectalk-synthesis-driver binary required to use GNOME Speech with dectalk.

This package is only useful if the dectalk engine is already installed on the system.

The GNOME Speech library gives a simple yet general API for programs to convert text into speech, as well as speech input.

This package provides the source code required to compile a driver for the commercial IBMTTS speech synthesis engine available from http://ttsynth.com/. Upon installation, it will automatically attempt to compile and install the voiavoice-synthesis-driver binary required to use GNOME Speech with IBMTTS.

This package is only useful if the IBMTTS (TTSynth) engine is already installed on the system.

The GNOME Speech library gives a simple yet general API for programs to convert text into speech, as well as speech input.

This package provides the source code required to compile a driver for the commercial swift speech synthesis engine and voices from Cepstral (http://www.cepstral.com/). Upon installation, it will automatically attempt to compile and install the swift-synthesis-driver binary required to use GNOME Speech with swift.

This package is only useful if the swift engine is already installed on the system.

The SVOX Pico engine is a software speech synthesizer for German, English (GB and US), Spanish, French and Italian.

SVOX produces a clear and distinct speech output made possible by the use of Hidden Markov Model (HMM) algorithms.

This package contains binary files including pico2wave.

Mbrola is Thierry Dutoit's phonemizer for multilingual speech synthesis. The various diphone databases are distributed on separate packages, but they must be used with and only with Mbrola because of license matters. Read the copyright for details.

Mbrola itself doesn't provide full TTS. It is a speech synthesizer based on the concatenation of diphones. It takes a list of phonemes as input, together with prosodic information (duration of phonemes and a piecewise linear description of pitch), and produces speech samples on 16 bits (linear), at the sampling frequency of the diphone database.

Use Mbrola along with Freephone, cicero or espeak to have a complete text-to-speech in English.
