I am looking at gnuspeech and am considering getting involved in the
porting and/or development effort. I am a postgraduate student at
Trinity College, Dublin, doing a PhD in speech science. I have 17
years of commercial software engineering experience working in
Smalltalk, Java, C/C++, et. al. on Unix/Linux and Mac platforms. I am
potentially interested in working with gnuspeech to explore voice
control in speech synthesis as my dissertation topic. I am being
funded to do speech synthesis for the Irish language. While the
primary effort at this point is for a unit concatenative voice, I
may also investigate what it would take to add synthesis for Irish to
gnuspeech.
I have not yet downloaded the software from the cvs repository, but
have been reading some of the documentation. I have just a couple of
questions at this point for the development team. The platform I
would be interested in running gnuspeech on and doing development on
is Mac OS/X Tiger.
Questions:
- is it possible to generate audio output from gnuspeech on Mac OS/X
at this point?
- Are there any sound files available that give samples of the speech
output?
- Is it still possible to get the software/hardware necessary to run
the full suite of gnuspeech (i.e. NEXTstep?)?
Thanks for any info you can provide.
