TTS demo

We provide two demo pages. On the first one you can synthesize any given text online. The second is a speaking metro information system for the region of Stuttgart.

Project description

The speech synthesis activities at the IMS (Experimental Phonetics) concentrates on various linguistic and application oriented aspects of speech synthesis. Our goal is to achieve naturally sounding and linguistically motivated speech synthesis.
The speech synthesis system developed at the IMS is the IMSGermanFestival system (download IMS German Festival). It is based on the original externer Link Festival speech synthesis framework developed at CSTR, University of Edinburgh. The current voice of our system uses diphones taken from the externer Link MBROLA project.
