Hi Sina,
Marcelo did not mention his own important contributions in this area,
including a c++ port of gnuspeech
(https://github.com/mym-br/gnuspeech_sa) and a derivative project,
gama_tts (https://mym.eng.br/gama_tts.html).
I have been interested in this for a long time, but only as a hobbyist.
It is far removed from my daily work. I would like to see an active
open-source project for articulatory speech synthesis, but I don't have
many skills to contribute. I could perhaps help with testing and
documentation. I don't know much about text-to-speech, c++ development,
or open-source project administration.
If gnuspeech is to continue as a GNU package, it will first need a new
admin. Are any of the current members interested in becoming admin? If
so, send a note to [email protected]. I'm not sure the GNU
organization knows about David Hill's passing, or that the project needs
a new maintainer.
Regards,
--Paul

Hi Sina,
Currently this project doesn't have an admin, after David Hill passed
away last year.
You don't like the UI? :)

Hi everyone,
I've recently become familiar with gnuspeech(or GNU Speech)
project by chance when I was discovering FTP server of GNU project.
The most interesting part of this project for me was about
academical papers and models used to develop backend side of
application (which mainly participated by professor David Hill).
However this project unfortunately never got any update or
development since 2015 , as a result I have interested to develop
and also try to revive gnuspeech project for demand of open source
community in generating TTS content and rely on software to use
commercial and non-commercial use without fear of non-open-source
licensing problems.
I also have some recommendations for the future versions of gnuspeech:
-Ability to speech recognition
-Improving algorithms with recently published papers and
mathematical models in sound engineering and other related
branches(especially open access articles).
-Modern User Interface (also opportunities for contributions
related to graphical design)
-Maybe alternative for commercial virtual assistants :)
Best regards,
Sina Fesahati
