HI all, I'm looking for software that will sing text, along the lines of Yamaha's Vocaloid, but I need to specify the input in an ASCII file of some sort (any sort, really). Ideally, the software would run on Linux, but I'll take Windows. Is such software available? Many thanks. -Joel

http://cslu.cse.ogi.edu/tts/demos/ I haven't used their system, or even looked carefully into how it would work, but follow the links under the title "Festival" to see what you find. The demos sound very impressive to my ears. Cheers, Ross-c

Sorry, I made a mistake. Some time ago when I was looking at festival, I noticed a webpage describing the use of festival to synthesise sung voice. Upon seeing your post I did a quick search and posted what I thought was the same thing. My description of what to look at in the quoted page was wrong, as the festival bit down the bottom (even with their new voices) is normal text to speech. After noting I'd sent you off-track, I had another look. Flinger is the system I was thinking off: http://speech.bme.ogi.edu/tts/flinger/ But again I haven't used it or looked deeply into it myself. So I'll shut up now before I dig myself deeper into a hole :-) Cheers, Ross-c

It looks like flinger takes MIDI files as input, not ASCII files with musical annotation. Basically, what I want is to create a file along the lines of: Ma(E)-ry(D) had(C) a(D) lit(E)-tle(E) ..... to get a sung version of the song. I don't care about the synax of the ASCII file. -Joel
