speech processing
• Speech Filing System (SFS) Computer Tools For Speech Research (PC and UNIX workstations)
• Computerized Speech Research Environment (CSRE) comprehensive, easy-to-use and affordable speech processing system available for the PC (CSRE 4.5 Demo)
• The Avaaz TFR (Time-Frequency Representation) Package Windows-based signal analysis system. TFR offers you a range of spectral analysis techniques with which to analyze your signals, and lets you display the results as color or gray-scale spectrograms. The program lets you digitize signals with CD-quality, and provides integrated playback, signal editing, analysis, display and measurement functions. TFR runs on any PC under Windows or Win95, using your choice of Windows-compatible audio hardware.

  synthesis

• The Festival Speech Synthesis System
  Festival is a general multi-lingual speech synthesis system developed at CSTR. It offers a full text to speech system with various APIs, as well an environment for development and research of speech synthesis techniques. It is written in C++ with a Scheme-based command interpreter for general control.
• KPE80 A Klatt Synthesiser and Parameter Editor
• mxv sound analysis package for Unix/X/Linux with an emphasis on analysis and re-synthesis
• Rsynth-2.0 a full-fledged speech synthesizer based on the vocal tract modeling of Dennis Klatt
• MBROLA a speech synthesizer based on the concatenation of diphones
• WinSpeech 3.0 WinSpeech reads text and produces speech
• Clip&Talk 2.0 Clip&Talk adds speech abilities to existing Windows application
• ASTER, Audio System for Technical Readings developed by T.V. Raman
• TrueTalk

  recognition

• Sensory, Speech Recognition
• VISPER
  The VISPER is a unique software system designed for education of some essential topics in automatic speech processing. Its main power consists in visualization of the basic tasks associated with speech recognition, such as signal acquisition, speech parameterization, endpoint detection, DTW-based matching or the application of the hidden Markov modeling technique. Learning and understanding these topics becomes much easier with the VISPER because the system is like an experimental workbench that allows a user to search answers on many common questions by experiments.
