Not bad, but Google translate is certainly not the best out there, by a long shot.

Have a look at Ivona.. I just compared several of the sentences in one of those repo files from the google 16k, to the German man/women on the Ivona TTS, and the Ivona one sounds a LOT better.

You sometimes need to use trickery to make certain words sound correct, and no TTS is perfect, but Ivona is winning by a mile!

Hi all,

I wanted to let you know that the TTS toolkit I was working on has now reached production state:


If you are just looking for ready to go voice prompt packages please take a look here: http://repo.profhost.eu/static/freeswitch/

Available language:
English (en)
German (de)
Spanish (es)
French (fr)
Netherlandish (nl)
Portuguese (pt)
Russian (ru)
Simplified Chinese (zh_CN)

These are basically all languages FreeSWITCH currently supports :-)

There is also quite a long readme in the Github repo if you are interested in more details or contribution (e.g. improving your language translation files).

@Michael Collins:
I understand you took some major work in the existing voice prompts, especially in english.
I'd appreciate if you could take an extended look to the readme file, especially "Differences and improvements" as there are some assumptions I would like to be confirmed (e.g. about those tone files).

We could also talk about how this can be helpful for FreeSWITCH as a whole. But I'm not sure if this is the right place to discuss, just let me know and drop me a private line if you want.


Cheers,
Julian
