I'm trying to figure which of the speech synthesizers is the best one for Russian. Means pronounces and emphasis.
Currently I'm successfully discover two synthesizers:
$ echo "Привет Мир!" | espeak -v russian
ESpeak is a Multi-lingual software speech synthesizer.
And Festival - General multi-lingual speech synthesis system.
$ echo '(SayText "Привет Мир!")' | uniconv -encode Russian-Translit | festival --pipe
I have no luck with Russian language for Festival
yet. But for the first sight(hearing) it sounds better with Translit
than ESpeak
with -v russian
option.
Could somebody suggest me more modern and fashionable speech synthesizer?
