Allison talks to me.

2008-03-29 22:06:30.867601+01 by meuon 0 comments

Cepstral's Allison Voice and their implementation of it is the best $30.00 I've spent in a while . Asterisk systems come with flite, aka: Festival Lite, which sounds like a computer. "Allison" is very good, and matches the existing recorded voice in Asterisk very well. It reads sentences very naturally compared to other voices I've worked with for 508 Compliance. It just made a project a lot easier than I was expecting.. which was to expect to have to record a -lot- of voice from live humans, and paste it together as needed.
