October Update

October 20th, 2009

Hey everyone,

First of all, Wishing you a very Happy Diwali. :D

Just to let you all know that I’m still alive. The first reason that kept me away from updating my blog was Text-to-Speech ( FreeTTS ) and Speech-to-Text ( Sphinx ). I have got really great response from my followers and guests. I have created few sample applications on both of them.

And, the second reason is Exams. The next and the final one for this session is Java Servlet, JSP And Apache Struts on 24th of this month. I’m not really worried about the exam, right now my focus is on SphinxTrain and SphinxDecoder.

That’s it for now, I will be updating again soon.

Finally FreeTTS Worked :)

October 4th, 2009

Hello everyone!

After long long research on Speech Synthesizer and working on projects based on Speech Recognizer.  Finally I made FreeTTS work using Eclipse SDK. I have tested it on Windows XP, Vista and Mac, Working fine on all the Operating systems. I found it little confusing but once you start working on something, Everything starts to solve out one by one.

About FreeTTS :

FreeTTS is a speech synthesis engine written entirely in the Java(tm) programming language. FreeTTS was written by the Sun Microsystems Laboratories Speech Team and is based on CMU’s Flite engine. FreeTTS also includes a partial JSAPI 1.0

Soon, I will be posting a “FreeTTS with Eclipse” tutorial.

So , Stay tuned!

FreeTTS

August 26th, 2009

Hello everyone,

Today I’m sharing my experience with you about FreeTTS. After spending many hours working on FreeTTS, I’m still unable to run a simple demo provided by them. Its really horrible that i posted in their forum about error 4 days ago and i haven’t received any reply back till now. I tried to figure it out myself but there’s no such info about it on related sites.
