Re: Jaws singing?
there is a little problem on the iPhone. If you come across any text that enters the tune mode, which is how you make it sing, voice over will just flat out crash and reboot. I personally did this on a macintosh virtual machine, which is not ideal, and it's running ml, but at least I don't have to spend 1600 bucks on a computer just to make the synth sing. As for the singing code itself, it is indeed very complex, and you would be advised to learn how to do it with dectalk first, believe me, it'll carry over. Another issue is that because macintalk was not intended to be used for singing, but instead to define special pitch contours, all values for frequency are in hertz, and you have to specify a start and an end pitch for every phoneme otherwise it ramps. Dectalk can just flat out do it with a note format. It can do hertz too, but macintalk's approach to hertz is better than dectalk's. Also do note that the only voices that can sing on mac vms, real macs , iPhones and the like, are the voices branded macintalk. This is voices such as fred, victoria, alex, ralph, etc. None of the pre formatted singing voices such as pipe organ can do it, and none of the vocalizer voices can even come close. Also alex is not a good voice for singing due to the sample based algorithm, it breaks things. I would use the formant voices if I were you, that's fred, ralph, kathy, etc. Those voices that sound very synthesized and have that little hiss on them. But to figure out how to make macintalk sing, google apple developer imbedded speech commands macintalk.
