This package supplies the necessary functions in order to synthesize speech from a phonemic transcription. Furthermore, it defines helpers to improve the result if more information as the pitch contour is available.
From version 2.0.0 we are relying on the new segment-to-gesture API introduced in VTL 2.3 and use the JD3.speaker instead of the JD2.speaker.
The original version of this tool is based on the work and on the Matlab code
on Yingming Gao. This can be viewed by checking out the tag 1.1.0.
The overall logic is in create_corpus.py which executes the appropriate
functions from top to bottom. The functions are supplied by the other files.
Note
In the since VTL version 2.3 which can be downloaded as free software from https://www.vocaltractlab.de/index.php?page=vocaltractlab-download most of the functionality implemented here is available directly from the VTL api. Please use the VTL api directly.
As the VocalTractLabAPI.so and the JD2.speaker is GPL v3 the rest of the code here is GPL as well. If the code is not dependent on VTL anymore you can use it under MIT license.
