Release of new WORLD-based voice synthesizer
Hello
WORLD is a free software speech synthesizer on the basis of a Vocoder.
It has been widely used as a backend for UTAU[1] but it should be also
possible to use it as a backend for eSpeak and other accessibility
and/or music applications such as the "Singing Computer"[2]. My modified
version of WORLD uses the well known vorbis codec for compression. The
world4espeak synthesizer is interface compatible to MBROLA, and can be
used to synthesize both singing and speech in real time on a modern
computer. It is hosted at gitorious.org [3]. Currently there are no
voices yet, a manual how to create voices will be published soon.
