eSpeak is a compact, multi-language, open source
text-to-speech synthesizer.
This version is a SAPI5 compatible Windows speech engine
which should work with screen readers such as Jaws,
NVDA, and Window-Eyes.
There is also a version of eSpeak which can be run as a
command-line program. This is in eSpeak\command-line.
Read docs\commands.html for details.
Voices and Languages
====================
The available Voices can be seen as files in the directory
espeak-edit/voices.
To change which eSpeak Voices are available through
Windows, re-run the installer and specify up to six
Voice files which you want to use.
The tone of a Voice can be modified by adding a variant
name after the Voice name, eg:
pt+f3
The available variants are:
male: +m1 +m2 +m3 +m4 +m5
female: +f1 +f2 +f3 +f4
other effects: +croak +wisper
These variants are defined by text files in
espeak-edit/voices/!v
Updates
=======
The eSpeak project homepage is at:
http://espeak.sourceforge.net/
Comments, corrections, and other feedback and assistance
is sought from native speakers of the various languages
because I've no idea how they are supposed to sound :-)
To make changes to pronunciation rules and exceptions,
or to change the sounds of phonemes, or just to experiment
with speech synthesis, download the "espeakedit" program.
