Text to speech
 
I'm looking for text to speech voices for my pc as part of a project I'm working on. I'm looking for something old-school sounding like WarGames. Anyone know where to find them?

This one says that it does that.

They all sound too human. I want something electronic. lol

It would be easy to manipulate the output, unless you need an on-the-fly voice modifier.

One of the options lower down says "Converts typed text to generic robotic speech"

there was an oldoldoldold one called "Doctor" that I remember back in the early 80s when my parents got their first PC. I remember being a little creeped out when my brother would beg me to go play Doctor.

I've always preferred Sayz Me:

I actually used it extensively for all the character voices in the Haunted House Candy Hunt game here:

It came in particularly handy when I was doing Death's voice at the end because, in addition to selecting a male or female voice, the program allows you to change the speed/pitch of the voices that read the text.

I guess in vista it's called Microsoft Anna now.

Sometimes when i get sick n tired of reading gamefaqs guides i like to use Loquendo TTS, kenneth's voice is really peacefull it sounds like gandhi. :)

Microsoft Anna's a self-righteous bitch lol

I haven't heard her yet, I just noticed it when I installed Vent the other day. How bad is it?

VaporTrailx1 Jan 11th, 2009 06:58 PM

Pretty humanish. I prefer my pc to be cold and impersonal. If you put it on the slowest settings she sounds drunk.

10,000 Volt Ghost Jan 12th, 2009 09:16 PM

Awesome. To think I wasn't going to have anything to do tonight when I got home.

kahljorn Jan 12th, 2009 09:19 PM
