  Description     : a C/C++ software toolkit for reactive implementation of HMM-based speech and singing synthesis.

Mage is a software library for using HMM-based speech synthesis in
reactive programming environments. It is based on the HTS engine, but
instead of using all the available context information for the
computation of speech audio samples, Mage can synthesize speech using a
limited number of labels preceeding and succeeding the currently
synthesized phoneme. It can go as low as only one label of phonetic
context, just the current one. Mage brings a realtime audio architecture
on the top of HTS and a user-friendly API for developers to integrate
reactive speech synthesis in their applications.
