Festival Spanish (Mexican) language support routines (in scheme) from ogi.edu OGIspanish is an extension to the Festival TTS system (created by CSTR at the University of Edinburgh http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival). This version of voice_abc has been designed to work with Festival version 1.3.0 released starting from September 1998. It provides Mexican Spanish voices created by Alejandro Barbosa from UDLA, Puebla, Mexico. New in recent releases: * works with Festival 1.3.0 * intonation module: At the highest level of the intonation module is a new stage to incorporate different phrase intonation models. * new syllabification function for Mexican Spanish. This function uses lexical rules to syllabify and accentuate in Spanish and solves both syllabification and stress prediction at word level. * new function for duration prediction for Spanish that works at the syllable level and differs a little from the duration prediction modules offered by festival. Notes: 1) Currently, the Mexican Spanish voice does not support Spanish characteres such as tilded vowels, or dierisis. You must enter them as follows: tilded a - 'a tilded e - 'e tilded i - 'i tilded o - 'o tilded u - 'u tilded n - ny dierisis is not supported in this version.
