Flite - cross platform speech synthesis

jbors · 12-01-2005, 12:20 AM

Guys,
Working on a new pycar release I got around making pyflite package for Python.
It uses flite library for speech synthesis. Read here more:
http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/flite/doc/
It is very good alternative to sapi from MS and works everywhere and open source !
So I managed to have Python wrapper with very simple interface. See the Python code snippet:

Code:

import flite
import pymedia.audio.sound as sound
snd= sound.Output( 16000, 1, sound.AFMT_S16_LE )
v= flite.load( 'kal16.v' )
s= v.toWave( 'flite kal16 testing' )
snd.play( s )

If anyone need it I can make a release for Windows and Linux. Hope you like it...

That would be really cool if you were to post what you have.

EDIT:
-- thanks anyway, i just realized how easy it was to do with pyrex.
