Hello

WORLD is a free software speech synthesizer on the basis of a Vocoder.
It has been widely used as a backend for UTAU[1] but it should be also
possible to use it as a backend for eSpeak and other accessibility
and/or music applications such as the "Singing Computer"[2]. My
modified version of WORLD uses the well known vorbis codec for
compression. The world4espeak synthesizer is interface compatible to
MBROLA, and can be used to synthesize both singing and speech in real
time on a modern computer. It is hosted at gitorious.org [3].
Currently there are no voices yet, a manual how to create voices will
be published soon.
