Description Alessandro Di Marco 2015-01-22 11:00:16 UTC

Hi!

Please find attached ebuild+patches for SVOX PicoTTS text-to-speech engine. The build produces a small footprint TTS named pico2wave along with all that's needed (C headers+libs) to enable svox features in external programs (see pico2wave.c for details).

Best,

Comment 12 Alessandro Di Marco 2015-01-22 11:23:31 UTC

Patches stolen from debian distro. The code base is quite old (2013) but AFAIK this is the only one that makes a fully functional TTS engine with no segfaults whatsoever.

usage hint:

pico2wave -w /tmp/speech.wav -l en-GB "Hello World"
aplay /tmp/speech.wav
