well try it out CaitCait. There's nothing stopping you. I have the
progs downloaded and am currently reading the tutorial before I start
my recordings. and it seems a lot easier than I originally
thought. Only thing is, the Kelibration seems a bit visual. doesn't
matter though as it's only really an indication. Patrick, did you
find you had much trouble with it?
Cheers!

Hi CaitCait, I'm about to download the softweare and am reading
all the documentation. and yes it does sound pretty technical but
at the same time, they do speak english! Lol!
Hopefully Patrick will be the first to tell us if he's been
successful with it! Lol
Cheers!

Just thought I'd forward this on from someone who forwarded it
from another list, (does that make sense? thought not! :)
but this sounds so cool and I'm off to try make my own voice! :)

Hi,
I just found a very interesting website and thought I'd pass it
on as it can or since it's sapi5, this software, can be used
with window-eyes and or jaws. Ok. I'll explain a little first.
Suppose you wanted to add your own voice to the library or
portfoleo of voices or voice fonts in the ATNT natural voices
speech synthesizer. Well you'd have to pay thousands of
dollars. But thanks to the website:
http://www.asel.udel.edu/speech/ModelTalker.html
you can now do it, at least temporarily, for free! The speech
synthesizer is called model talker. And you can create new
voices with it by using your very own voice, a microphone, and
your very own computer. There's good documentation with it that
explains what to read and how to read it. If you spend the
time. You can make a voice that sounds as good or better than
the cepstral voices, or, you can create a voice that sounds as
bad or a little worse than microsoft text to speech mary mike
and sam voices. But with a little effort. Window-eyes and jaws,
since this speech is sapi5 compatible. window-eyes and jaws can
now talk in your own voice! or whose-ever voice you decide to
record and turn into a voice font.
Enjoy and have fun creating voices. I myself signed up to their
mailing list and to be a beta tester of upcoming versions of the software.
