[microsound] Speech/Diphone databases

[Joe Lasqo]

Marlon -

I'm not sure if this is useful for what you're doing, but you might want to check out the MBROLA project: (link)

If you're a Max/MSP user, its subproject MaxMBROLA may also be of interest to you: link.

Bonne chance!

This is not exactly what you need but you might want to check it out. Its free and multiplatform. It does some serious speech synthesis. However it is scientific program with steep learning curve. I experimented with it years ago and results were very interesting.
