Open Source BSD Speech Software

Text to Speech engine for English and many other languages. Compact size with clear but artificial pronunciation. Available as a command-line program with many options, a shared library for Linux, and a Windows SAPI5 version.

eGuideDog project develops free software for the blind. Currently, we focus on WebSpeech, Ekho TTS and WebAnywhere.

Ever wanted to cut out background noise when talking with others on Skype? Now it's possible! NoiseGator is a light-weight noise gate application that routes audio through an audio input to an audio output. In real-time the audio level is analysed and if the average level is higher than the threshold the audio bypasses as normal. However, if the average level goes below the threshold, the gate closes and the audio is cut. When used with a virtual audio cable it can act as a noise gate for a either a sound input(microphone) or sound output(speakers). Can also be used to gate noise from your own mic or play your microphone through your speakers. REQUIREMENTS: - Java 7 or higher for Windows. - Java 6 or higher for Mac. Java 7 recommended. - A virtual audio cable is required for use with VOIPs: For Windows users I recommend the VB-Cable driver (http://vb-audio.pagesperso-orange.fr/Cable/index.htm). Mac users can use SoundFlower.

Mumble is an open source, low-latency, high quality voice chat software primarily intended for use while gaming. It includes game linking, so voice from other players comes from the direction of their characters, and has echo cancellation so the sound from your loudspeakers won't be audible to other players.

SPTK is a suite of speech signal processing tools for UNIX environments, e.g., LPC analysis, PARCOR analysis, LSP analysis, PARCOR synthesis filter, LSP synthesis filter, vector quantization techniques, and other extended versions of them.

PersonaPlex is an open-source real-time conversational speech AI model that goes beyond traditional text chat by providing full-duplex speech-to-speech interaction, meaning it can listen and talk at the same time instead of waiting for you to finish speaking before responding. This architectural approach eliminates awkward pauses and makes conversations feel much more human-like, with natural behaviors such as overlapping speech, interruptions, and fluent turn-taking, traits that traditional AI assistants typically lack. PersonaPlex also supports persona and voice control, allowing developers to define the role and speaking style of the agent using text prompts and voice conditioning, making it suitable for applications like customized voice assistants, interactive character agents, or domain-specific conversational tools. Internally, it processes continuous audio streams in a hybrid input format so that speech understanding and generation occur jointly.

FreeTTS is a speech synthesis engine written entirely in the Java(tm) programming language. FreeTTS was written by the Sun Microsystems Laboratories Speech Team and is based on CMU's Flite engine. FreeTTS also includes a partial JSAPI 1.0

a tool for segmenting, labeling and transcribing speech

Speak Freely is a Cross Platform Internet telephony (Voice Chat) application which provides high quality voice grade audio with GSM and CELP compression and encryption with DES, Blowfish, and IDEA ciphers. Refering to recent news: The maintainers will never add any unwanted extra software in the zip download file but we can only speak for our selves.

To provide basic text-to-speech capability on as many platforms and for as many spoken languages as possible by formant synthesis from an International Phonetic Alphabet representation.

Translating subtitles in format SubRip from one natural language to other. It is based on Google Translate without API and therefore without payment. Translator have automatic and manual spell checkers.

A patent-free audio codec designed especially for voice (unlike Vorbis which targets general audio) signals and providing good narrowband and wideband quality. This project is complementary to the Ogg Vorbis codec.

a GUI for the Festival speech synthesis program

The project provides a ready-to-use interface for the julius CSR engine for a handicapped child which is not able to use the keyboard well. It integrates into X11 and Windows. Find out how you can help: http://simon-listens.org/index.php?support

Project dedicated to Festival voices development

The Open VXI VoiceXML interpreter is a portable open source library that interprets the VoiceXML dialog markup language. It is designed to serve as a reference for parties interested in understanding how VoiceXML markup might be executed.

VoIM is a Java based Jabber client that will provide excellent text instant messaging capabilities as well as the ability to send and receive voice messages.

audacity-extra now provides a sleek dark themed version of the Audacity open source sound editor. The project experiments with Audacity variations. There's a vowel-sound target-practice display for language learners and an analog waveform data logger for embedded systems.

SAA (SSPLab Audio Analyzer) It will be able to separate sources, recognize speech and analyze the auditory scene. It can also synthesize spatialised sounds from mono recording, edit, analyze via spectrogram, filter and re-sample signals.

MARF is a general cross-platform framework with a collection of algorithms for audio (voice, speech, and sound) and natural language text analysis and recognition along with sample applications (identification, NLP, etc.) of its use, implemented in Java.

odt2daisy is an OpenOffice.org Writer extension, enabling to export in DAISY XML, Full DAISY (xml+audio) and Audiobook format. DAISY is an NISO Z39.86 standard for blind, visual impaired, print-disabled, and learning-disabled people.

A speech synthesis and recognition library that is cross-platform, accessible from Java and C++, and has a very small API. Uses CMU Sphinx4 and FreeTTS internally.

InproTK is an Incremental Spoken Dialogue Processing Toolkit, that is, a toolkit to help you build dialogue systems that listen and talk incrementally, allowing for advanced interactional behaviour. Please see our Wiki for more information: http://sourceforge.net/p/inprotk/wiki/

This is a T2S or "Text To Speech" application that will allow Mac OS X 10.5 users to type in any text into the text box then hear it.
