I was recently looking at voice generation. The newer Festival is better than the one that's probably in your package manager. http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/project

I wonder if we will see any of the deep learning libraries try to do voice recognition, a good open source implementation is lacking, or voice generation.
- hiddencost 11y agoDo you mean: Speech to text (called "automatic speech recognition") Speech to identity of the speaker (called "speaker id") ? (Also, "voice generation" is called "TTS" or "text to speech") There are multiple world class open ASR systems using DNNs. Check out Kaldi.
- jkldotio 11y agoI am not sure of the source of the confusion. I meant TTS in the first part of my comment ("voice generation" isn't far from "speech synthesis", which is the title of the Wikipedia article for it in English) and both ASR and TTS in the second. Regarding ASR I'd not heard of Kaldi, thanks for the tip.
- makomk 11y agoAccording to the FAQ, the voices used on that demo page aren't currently publicly available: http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/demofaq.html#voices http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/demofaq.html#voic... (Also, the FAQ seems to imply that you'll have to pay to use them commercially when they are.)
