Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience controlling the
speech in the Mac OS.
My and a friend had this idea for a class project in audio to create a
sort of symphony or band using just the voices from the spoken items.
Is it possible to access this voices in another way then writing text
files? Is it possible to maybe create a gui that would be able to
control it like a conductor ( tell it to loop a phrase or change
voices or play two voices at the same time...etc...)?
I don't know how to use the speech on Mac OS but your idea sounded
interesting. When my sons were something like 3 & 6 I recorded one of
them saying "yes" and the other saying "no". I sampled it into a
Roland S-550 sampler. So when I played a key on a keyboard I would get
their voice. The sampler adjusted the pitch depending on the key
pressed. I then entered a Bach two part invention into a computer that
had a MIDI port. I attached one part to one of my sons voice and the
other part to the second son's voice. I then had the computer play it
and I recorded it. I did this as a project for a local university
synthesizer class I was taking. It was a great deal of fun and came
out really well. I wish I still had the recording around somewhere
since the boys are now 18 & 21.
Good luck with your project.
Mike
