TTSynth Is Available Again

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There has never been source code available for ibm viavoice.
It is not open source, never has been, never will be. What 
was provided was a header file to be included in your own 
source which allowed you to invoke engine functions. See 
the documentation for ibm tts, it's all spelled out.

It looks to me that the source code is definitely not available
except for small helper applications like tts_connector which
are useless without the main TTSynth code anyway, am I right? :(

Unless things are different than when I use it, and I don't think
so, there is a binary executable with an API that you can call
from programs. That doesn't make it useless, it just means 
the engine is not open source. You shouldn't need to mess 
with the engine anyways. 

>From what I have seen, I'm pretty sure IBM didn't own the 
source for tts, so they can't give it away. It looks to me like
it's a license from eloquence, binary license.
