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.
