Personal TrueTalk

Personal TrueTalk is a software-only text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis system with a graphical interface, designed to voice-enable your workstation. Based on AT&T's TTS, TrueTalk produces highly intelligible, prosodically natural synthetic speech. Text is taken from files, highlighted X selections, the interface scratch pad, or other programs via a TCP/IP socket or Tcl/Tk's "send" mechanism. The GUI provides buttons for Stop, Pause (highlights text positon), and Resume, plus a configuration panel to set speaking rate, volume, gender and voice type, and to select among drop-in text filters ("email" and "lively" examples included). Documentation is on-line, including mouse-activated help windows. Free interactive demonstrations available through WWW or downloading a demo version. See http://www.entropic.com/ttdemo.html, or ftp://ftp.entropic.com/pub/truetalk/README.ptt. Requires IRIX 5.2.
