Traditionally, MirandaSoft has been using Tagalog phonology in making English-based speech synthesizers speak in the Tagalog language, but that only proved to be merely entertaining rather than being serious enough to be used by a blind person.
Prior to receiving SpeakJet, MirandaSoft made several attempts to get Festival to speak Tagalog at best, but the output just made people laugh. The Festival Speech Synthesis System is an excellent software-based speech synthesizer, however none of the available digitized voices are suitable for speaking Tagalog in a non- comedial environment. To have a better understanding of what phonemes & allophones are being used, please consult the SpeakJet User Manual.Īs of this writing, a text-to-speech (TTS) engine has not been created for Tagalog speech synthesis, however, MirandaSoft is developing the Robotic Tagalog speech synthesizer dictionary for SpeakJet.įAQ: Why Not Use Festival Speech Synthesis System? Since the produced speech sounds robotic, the new language is called, Robotic Tagalog. Using MirandaSoft's SpeakJet Parsers, the SpeakJet microcontroller is able to speak Tagalog, the national language of the Philippines. Robotic Tagalog is the synthesized speech of the Tagalog language from the SpeakJet speech synthesizer, being developed by MirandaSoft, using the BeagleBone Black with the SpeakJet Cape.
