Otto Matta Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Anyone know of a decent text-to-speech synthesizer out there with interesting voices, maybe similar to or better than the FL5 one, and one you can save to WAV? I've looked pretty extensively and most of them tend to have serious applications rather than fun ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faze Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 There's the online one from ATT. ATT Text to Speech demo One of them sounds like the current trends in Benny Benassi stuff, or Luke Slater's "All Exhale". I forget which female voice it is there.

Faze 500101[/snapback] Actually, I found that site last night and already incorporated some of its speech into my latest track. However, I read at the site that it's illegal to do so, so I'd like to find an alternative. Thanks for the link, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Matta Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 I saw that one, too, and played around with it the other night. Sorry, I'm coming across as a know-it-all when I'm asking for help. It's just that these are some widely available yet somewhat limited speech synthesizers, and I'm looking for a good one - I'd even be willing to pay for it - that is made more for music and other fun applications (rather than office-type applications). I will probably be using SayIt here and there, but something like it with more complexity would be fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKoy Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Anyone know of a decent text-to-speech synthesizer out there with interesting voices, maybe similar to or better than the FL5 one, and one you can save to WAV? I've looked pretty extensively and most of them tend to have serious applications rather than fun ones. 500099[/snapback] I've found this excellent site recently, but their samples are only "for private, non-commercial use". So what do you think ? Is it good enough mister Otto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKoy Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I forgot to give you the link to their webpage http://public.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine some pretty interesting future applications when it becomes more advanced and streamlined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
