#45987 — Text-to-Sound or Vice Versa (Method NOT the source code)

Always wondered how sound is generated from text. Googling couldn't help. Devs having knowledge about this could provide, the information, Links, URLs or anything that could help.

Perhaps try 'text to speech' instead of 'text to sound'?



Best regards,

	I suppose one could go for archaic and complex...

	Obtain a working Amiga computer, install whatever the last Python
version was available pre-built. Then write a server application which
would take text over the net, and feed it to the appropriate Amiga
libraries -- translator and narrator as I recall (one converted plain
text to phoneme codings, the other then converted phonemes to sound, and
could return values for "mouth shape" to sync animation) [history: the
Amiga had text to speech in the late 80s -- it even allowed for
adjusting some formant parameters so one could create pseudo accents].

If venerable history is wanted, there is (always?!) emacs:
http://emacspeak.sourceforge.net/
This seems to go back to version 19 of emacs which is (c) mid-
nineties
