Notes:
Festvox is a project that provides free software and tools for building custom synthetic voices. The Festvox Festival is a software package that includes a text-to-speech synthesis system that can be used to create synthetic voices for use in applications such as speech recognition systems, dialog systems, and text-to-speech systems. The software allows users to create synthetic voices by recording and analyzing speech data, and then using that data to generate new synthetic speech. The goal of Festvox is to make it easy for people to create custom synthetic voices that can be used in a variety of applications.
