this is exactly the question I also have. recording hours and hours of audio, is not the problem,
and, i am willing to do this. as, to my understanding,
the more phrases,
there is in a recorded audio, the better for the enjin, but the question remains, what app can we use that can put this all together, so that we can install and test it. if I can find that, I would be perfectly willing to record as many hours of audio as it needs.
I'd even be willing to dissect, cut up, and do what ever I need to do, with this audio. to make the enjen as good as it could be. the idea that I get, from reading up, is that, the more and more recordings you have, the easier it is for the enjen to provide a natural voice, at the end of the day. so, if only we new what to use, to make this work, I'd be super happy to give this a go.
@75. ESpeak, from what I've read, is a mix of formant and recorded speech. The consonants are gathered from recorded speech samples, whereas the vowels are done by adding together sine waves to produce the harmonics for them.

Alexa is a computer generated voice. It is not from recordings of any real person(s) voice. It is generated from rules converting text in human speech.
How did you find out that Alexa is purely formant? It surely doesn't sound formant to me at all. I wonder what they used to create it?

Hi,
Well, I don't know, if anyone is interested, but I found some of the voices behind some danish TTS voices. The links with the voice names links to a danish site called "Speaker- og indlæserforeningen".

Dennis klat (of dectalk fame) was the voice of steven hawking's trusty prose2000 speech generating device.
I wonder how Dennis Klatt's real voice sounded, and if it sounded similar to Dectalk. Maybe it could be the voice, that announce the recordings in the Klatt's history of speech history on the website linked in post 75, but we can't know for sure. Does anyone have a recording of Klatt's real voice or something?
Acapela's Josh is voiced by Emerson.

What is this file?
To me the name indicated, that it could possibly be a database of PCM sound for some speech synthesizer. Is this corect?
