Soft : KALI (TTS)

[Philippe Blache]

Bonjour

The demo of the text-to-speech system KALI is now available on the web :

http://www.crisco.unicaen.fr/KaliDemo.html

This TTS system is the result of a collaboration between the Université de
Caen (GREYC + Elsap-Crisco) with Electrel (regional company :
http://www.electrel.fr) and the CMS (blind users association).

You can paste a text (less than 200 char.). (Remove return characters in
sentences, interpreted as sentence end).
You have access to all parameters :

  volume, rate of flow (from half to 3 times), pitch, voice (2 males, 1
female), prosody (from none to much), way of reading (literary, medium,
computer)

You recieve .wav files (about 50 Kbyte/s).

This TTS system favours the intelligibility, mainly at high rate, and long
readings of long texts (newspapers, books).

The French TTS is available (and marketed), the English one is in gestation.

You can send your reactions to Michel Morel (morel at crisco.unicaen.fr).
