Voice Synthesis

As computers become more powerful and hard drive space becomes cheaper voice synthesis can be applied to more applications. This will be an exciting field of growth over the next few years as more natural sounding voices are developed. Please visit the following sites where you will find samples (in WAV or MP3 format) of what can be done today. These voices are all free for non-commercial use. MBROLA has samples of many different languages. These voices are all commercially available and have a very natural sound. I have an affiliate relationship with nextup.com but I would still recommend these voices even if I did not. They are the best voices I have found anywhere. NextUp.com has samples of voices from :
  • ATT Natural Voices
  • NeoSpeech
  • Cepstral
  • RealSpeak
More voices for comparison.
