Re: [Nettime-bold] Speech synthesis |
If anyone on the list might be thinking about using this AT&T SDK, I can tell you this to save a bit of your time: the SDK cost is US$5,000 and it requires 500MB of memory to run, plus the runtime license it $750 per port. The "replicate any voice" feature is not yet commercially available. regards, Ken Neal Thomas wrote: > > If your computer is equipped with sound, I recommend a > visit to the latest iteration of the AT&T Bell Labs > TTS project, text-to-speech synthesis that just got an > upgrade in creepiness: > > http://www.research.att.com/~mjm/cgi-bin/ttsdemo > > They claim they will be able to replicate any voice. > The pacing is still ridiculous, but the inflections > are wonderfully hyperreal.
