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.

WaveSurfer is an open source tool for sound visualization and manipulation. Typical applications are speech/sound analysis and sound annotation/transcription. WaveSurfer may be extended by plug-ins as well as embedded in other applications.

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.

DeepSpeech is an open source embedded (offline, on-device) speech-to-text engine which can run in real time on devices ranging from a Raspberry Pi 4 to high power GPU servers. DeepSpeech is an open-source Speech-To-Text engine, using a model trained by machine learning techniques based on Baidu's Deep Speech research paper. Project DeepSpeech uses Google's TensorFlow to make the implementation easier. A pre-trained English model is available for use and can be downloaded following the instructions in the usage docs. If you want to use the pre-trained English model for performing speech-to-text, you can download it (along with other important inference material) from the DeepSpeech releases page.

Multiple possible transcripts, each with an associated confidence score. Experience the immediacy of script-to-performance. With Coqui text-to-speech, production times go from months to minutes. With Coqui, the post is a pleasure. Effortlessly clone the voices of your talent and have the clone handle the problems in post. With Coqui, dubbing is a delight. Effortlessly clone the voice of your talent into another language and let the clone do the dub. With text-to-speech, experience the immediacy of script-to-performance. Cast from a wide selection of high-quality, directable, emotive voices or clone a voice to suit your needs. With Coqui text-to-speech, production times go from months to minutes.

RHVoice is a free and open-source multilingual speech synthesizer. Its developers hope to give more visually impaired people the ability to use a good free synthesis voice reading in their native language with their screen reader. We are especially interested in supporting those languages for which there are currently no good voices that could be used with a screen reader. The creator of RHVoice, Olga Yakovleva, is blind herself. Many of the contributors to the RHVoice project, both programmers and non-programmers, are blind or partially sighted.

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.

TTS is a library for advanced Text-to-Speech generation. It's built on the latest research, was designed to achieve the best trade-off among ease-of-training, speed, and quality. TTS comes with pre-trained models, tools for measuring dataset quality, and is already used in 20+ languages for products and research projects. Released models in PyTorch, Tensorflow and TFLite. Tools to curate Text2Speech datasets underdataset_analysis. Demo server for model testing. Notebooks for extensive model benchmarking. Modular (but not too much) code base enabling easy testing for new ideas. Text2Spec models (Tacotron, Tacotron2, Glow-TTS, SpeedySpeech). Speaker Encoder to compute speaker embeddings efficiently. Vocoder models (MelGAN, Multiband-MelGAN, GAN-TTS, ParallelWaveGAN, WaveGrad, WaveRNN). If you are only interested in synthesizing speech with the released TTS models, installing from PyPI is the easiest option.

AGTK is a suite of software components for building tools for annotating linguistic signals, time-series data which documents any kind of linguistic behavior (e.g. audio, video). The internal data structures are based on annotation graphs.

Open source speech models for Julius speech decoder. Its aim is to give access a wider community of speech recognition enthusiasts to quality models, which they can use in their own projects on different OS platforms (Unix, Windows, etc...) All of the models are based on HTK modelling software and data sets available freely on the Internet.

Wrapper for vendors to simplify usage of the Java Speech API (JSR 113). Note that the spec is an untested early access and that there may be changes in the API.

TranscriberAG is designed for assisting the manual annotation of speech signals. It provides a user-friendly GUI for segmenting long duration speech recordings, transcribing them, labeling speech turns, topic changes and acoustic conditions.
