Hi everybody, my name is Ken Fallon and you're listening to another episode of HPR Public Radio.
|
|
Today is a supplementary episode to youroomed show 2729 playing around with text to speech synthesis on Linux.
|
|
In this show he was talking about the HPR introduction text to speech synthesizer that we used
|
|
and did a state of the art to see where we were in relation to see if there was anything better out there.
|
|
I had a quick look in the Fedora package repo and I found two additional ones that may be of interest
|
|
which I'm going to include here. One is MIMIC MIMIC and it is Microsoft's TTS engine, Microsoft's
|
|
text to speech engine. The description says MIMIC is a fast lightweight text to speech engine
|
|
developed by Microsoft AI and vocal ID based on the Carnegie Mellon's University F light software.
|
|
Text text and read it small for print etc.
|
|
And the man page allows you to take in a text file and I'll put a weird file.
|
|
If you do MIMIC-FLV it'll list the voices. There are something like 8 available on my system.
|
|
One was the AP which is Alan Pope, our good friend from the Ubuntu podcast. The other one is the
|
|
SLT voice which is similar to the festival voice that youroom recommended in his show.
|
|
The voice of Lin if people remember their Linux podcasting. So I will include those voices here now.

|
|
something else that was quite interesting which is the Google text speech Python library which
|
|
allows you to use the Google API. There is also a command line version called gtts-cli which
|
|
takes in the file and writes out a file for some reason it didn't work for me but with the Python
|
|
library I was able to write out that as well and you will hear the same text string that you
|
|
ruin used in this example. This is HPR episode 2792 entitled playing around with text to speech

|
|
text to speech options that are available to us. Open source would be the preference but if
|
|
that's not available if there's a way to get it from the command line that might be something to
|
|
consider. I would appreciate hearing about it and failing that record to show on whatever you
|
|
think is interesting. Tune in tomorrow for another exciting episode of Hacker Public Radio.
