About

The purpose of the project is making a good freely redistributable and usable Czech diphone database for the Festival speech synthesis system. Together with the festival-czech project it provides a complete freely redistributable and usable Czech speech synthesis.

Although the database is intended primarily for the Festival speech synthesis system, it is not limited to Festival. The database contains complete phone boundary marks and diphone boundaries and can be used to make voices for other free speech synthesis systems.

You can listen to voice demo.

Czech Festival speech synthesis is developed by Brailcom, o.p.s. Nadační fond Českého rozhlasu, Seznam.cz, a.s. and European Commission (the Leonardo da Vinci program) provided financial contributions to the project. Institute of Phonetics at Faculty of Philosophy & Arts, Charles University, Prague, led by prof. PhDr. Zdena Palková, CSc. provided expert knowledge and consultations.
