libttspico-utils source package not found
Hey folks, I was searching for ways to make espeak's text-to-speech sound more natural (postprocessing, I imagined), and instead came across pico2wave- a tool from libttspico-utils. The audio it generates does sound more natural, and it sounded a little familiar. Apparently it's the default voice for at least some previous versions of android. I was interested in getting the source, partly to see how such a small program made such a decent voice, and also to see if this program phones home to big G in any way. (It works with the wifi off, but why not look and see?) $ apt source libttspico-utils Reading package lists... Done Picking 'svox' as source package instead of 'libttspico-utils' E: Unable to find a source package for svox OK... The only hint I could find about pico TTS was that it was originally a component of Android. After some digging, I managed to find what looks like the source for the library pico2wave is built on top of: https://android-review.googlesource.com/admin/projects/platform/external/svox It's not the utility itself, but all the meat and potatoes are there. But where does this package come from? As I'm on Ubuntu, this mailing list is listed as the maintainer. But it's available in Debian too: https://packages.debian.org/testing/sound/libttspico-utils The source package svox is available in their repositories. The android repo is listed as an upstream for this debian source package. But what about the pico2wave binary from the libttspico-utils package? Does anybody have some insight into where this software comes from?
