ETI-Eloquence

• Platform: MS Windows (Win95,NT,3.1), Solaris, SunOS, SGI, RS/6000
• Description: ETI-Eloquence is a software based text-to-speech system. It generates waveforms completely algorithmically instead of by concatenating waveforms, for maximum flexibility and naturalism. For instance, when the user requests a deeper voice, the software simulates a larger vocal tract, instead of simply pitch-shifting samples. It uses high-level linguistic parsing, which obviates the need for a huge dictionary. It handles numbers, acronyms, currency, etc. It includes a set of annotation symbols, for placing stress on particular words, expressing excitement/boredom, etc. Also allows phonetic input. Supports MS SAPI.
  Produces male and female voices for General American English. Dialects under development include Alabama and Brooklyn.
• Price: Flexible license agreements on application.
