GamaTTS
=======

GamaTTS is an _experimental_ articulatory synthesizer that converts text to
speech.

GamaTTS started as a C++ port of the TTS_Server in the original Gnuspeech
(http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuspeech/) system developed for NeXTSTEP,
provided by David R. Hill, Leonard Manzara, Craig Schock and contributors.
The base was the code on Gnuspeech's Subversion repository, revision 672,
downloaded in 2014-08-02. The source code was obtained from the directories:
nextstep/trunk/ObjectiveC/Monet.realtime
nextstep/trunk/src/SpeechObject/postMonet/server.monet
Gnuspeech is licensed under the GNU GPLv3 or later.

This software includes code from RapidXml (http://rapidxml.sourceforge.net/),
provided by Marcin Kalicinski. See the file src/rapidxml/license.txt
for details.

Notes:
- GamaTTS is not compatible with Gnuspeech.
- "Gama" is the portuguese for gamma.



Status
------

[pre-alpha]

Only english is supported.

The quality of the synthesized speech is very far from the best speech
synthesizers. This software is mostly for people interested in articulatory
speech synthesis.
