[Freeswitch-users] TTS/unimrcp engines

Thanks Hector, Nuance is likely a bit out of our price range. Hopefully
we can find a professional voice for a reasonable cost.  Did you test
these out on windows, linux? Which versions?

 

Do you think I'd need a separate server to run unimrcp+TTS or could I
get away with it being on the same server as FS for a little while?

Hi Jason,

 

I've been playing with ASR/TTS and FS for the last 3 months. The best
TTS engine I've tried so far is from Nuance, unfortunately their product
is not available to the public (even the demo) and is quite expensive.

 

I have tested Cepstral and Loquendo voices, but none of them are close
to Nuance's product. So it will depend on how professional you want your
voices to sound, and of course your budget.

I'm trying to wrap up which TTS engine we will use over unimrcp. We'll
use between 10 and 40 simultaneous TTS lines.

So far I have tested the new IVONA mrcpv1 plugin but I am waiting on
their dev's to work out a few issues I uncovered.

 

Which TTS engines have been successfully used by others?

 

I've heard good things about Loquendo, but I have had problems getting
in contact with them.

Acapela sounds nice on their website - does anybody know how their
unimrcp plugin sounds?

Cepstral is cheap, but it seems as though they do not have a current
release for Open Suse 11.6 (32bit). 

 

Any others? Recommendations?

-Jason
