New Hindi text to speech voice. Are you a native Hindi speaker? What's your opinion?

  • [アーティクル]

There was an ariticle on web that describes a company with a TTS voice for Hindi. And for all you SAPI devs, the desktop version is SAPI compliant. According the article, "'Vaachak', developed by Prologix Software Solutions, is the first, high-quality, Indian language TTS system, which converts Hindi and English text into natural and pleasant sounding speech."

So, is it any good? I can tell you that the acoustic quality, at least from the demos, sounds a bit compressed and there is certainly some artifacts from concatenation. But still, who else out there has a Hindi TTS system?

What do you think? Are you a native speaker of Hindi? I'd love to get your impressions of the sample waves or you can use the demo to enter in Hindi text and have it read out.

    What's "Vaachak" mean in Hindi? Kunal Mukerjee, a colleague, points out that it means "One who explains and elucidates. Also, commentator."
