Guest meneedit Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I never thought it would be so hard but recently i went looking for an old speech engine (the one used by Stephen Hawking) and i cannot find it anywhere. It seems to be impossible to find. If any of you know where I can download it (win platform) could you please tell me where? It would be much appreciated. thank you :smiling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba69 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 hawking supposedly uses a hardware speech box, the Dectalk DTC01. I'm not sure of any perfect software emulations but there may be one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goDel Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 the wike has some good info on that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_synthesis the speech synthesis hawkins uses falls into the "formant synthesis" category if i remember well. there are lots of online demo's of text to speech systems in general. some will probably have some vintage option for choosing a hawkins like voice.

Guest Drahken Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Hawkings reminds me of ST Speech, which was an Atari ST program. You can find ST Speech pretty easy online, but you'll need a GEM emulator to run it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba69 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 okay, I fucking love syng2 @ http://www.xoxos.net/, there, I said it. Just fucking set it up and have fun and make it talk gibberish to a sequenced melody, you need to route 2 midi tracks to it(one for pitch, one for the different shapes of the mouth, vowels, consenants, etc.). I just made a track with it and it is fucking insane. I also violently automated the formant shift parameter, which is highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
