For those of you who aren't hosted with me at PilotPig (http://www.pilotpig.net/) but may be interested in the advancement of the PHP TTS module that I've been working on (if you're not aware, search the list archives ~May, 2007), we're unofficially at version 0.6.6 right now. In the latest build, which so far is just on the PilotPig servers (and actually live for customers right now), the speech synthesis function works as follows: <? txt2wav($text,$fileout,$duration,$pitch,$stddev); ?> While only the first two parameters are required, here's a breakdown of the parameters: $text The text to be synthesized into "speech" $fileout The name of the PCM Waveform file (*.wav) to write to $duration The speech-point duration (lower numbers mean faster speech) $pitch The base pitch of the voice that will "speak" $text $stddev The standard deviation to use from $pitch (NOTE: $stddev dynamically builds an algorithm for the synthesis of more natural speech based upon its own value combined with $duration and $pitch, as well as strlen($text). Doing a negative number will have the exact opposite effect as its positive counterpart.) You can see the results by going to http://www.pilotpig.net/ and turning the audio on. If anyone has any questions or anything, just let me know. I just wanted to apprise those on the list who were interested (some of which were involved) in the progress. Also, if anyone else is interested in hosting with me (there are actually a few members from the list who are now), just let me know. For list members, I'm willing to cut the price as much as in half, for life. That is all. Thanks for listening. -- Daniel P.
