Date: Thu, 4 Nov 1993 18:25:52 GMT Lines: 27 I have been trying to pull together the various parts of a text to speech system from various public domain sources. A pre-release which works on Sun SPARC stations (which is all I have access to can be found on the comp.speech archive site i.e. svr-ftp.eng.cam.ac.uk In /pub/comp.speech/sources/rsynth-0.9.tar.Z This several steps beyond the "speak" program which concatenates .au files, but is not yet "finished". The bottom level is based on the "klatt-0.02" code posted here some time back (heavily modified). However I have not got much (any?) time to work on this at present, so I am posting it in the hope that it may help some people as-is. I would appreciate feedback as to how it compares (strengths/weaknesses) with other systems, and any "expert" advice on how to improve it, as and when I get time.

Date: Fri, 25 Feb 1994 12:42:30 GMT Lines: 29 I have made another release of my "rsynth" package. There are no major functional changes, but I have included drivers for linux, NeXT and SGI machines that have been contributed by a number of people.

(If your favourite suggestion/enhancement has not made it please re-mail me I have lost one or two!) Only other change of note is that the infinite recusion problem when "spelling out" words WITHOUT the dictionary is fixed. rsynth is available via anonymous ftp from : svr-ftp.eng.cam.ac.uk /comp.speech/sources/rsynth-1.0.tar.Z or /comp.speech/sources/rsynth-1.0.tar.gz Please not that this is a private project and Texas Instruments is not responsible in any manner.
