Evaluation

There is need for a speech synthesis toolkit, like the modules that are already available to speed up speech recognition development.

The community has made an excellent start with Festival and MBROLA , but in order to push the technology forward faster we need more people involved to further build on these efforts. Work is needed on:

• Standards for component interfaces
• Tools (automatic segmentation, statistical training algorithms)
• Corpora (both speech and text, raw and annotated)
• TTS modules
• Add-on modules (email pre-processing)

This page has been set up to hold contributed modules, interfaces, components and tools

It is currently still at the proposal stage, but we are waiting for your contributions
