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.
