eSpeak text to speech Description

EditBy eSpeak produces good quality English speech. It uses a different synthesis method from other open source TTS engines, and sounds quite different. It's perhaps not as natural or "Smooth", but I find the Articulation clearer and easier to listen to for long periods. It can run as a command line program to speak text from a file or from stdin. A shared Library version is also available. Includes different Voices, whose characteristics can be altered. Can produce speech output as a WAV file. SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language) is supported (not complete), and also HTML. Compact size. The program and its data, including several languages, totals about 700 kbytes. Can translate text to phoneme codes, so it could be adapted as a front end for another speech synthesis engine. Potential for other languages. Several are included in varying stages of Progress. Help from native speakers for these or other languages is welcomed. Development tools available for producing and tuning phoneme data. Written in C++.
