Recognition






  • Audiogrep - transcribes audio files and then creates "audio supercuts" based on search phrases. It uses CMU Pocketsphinx for speech-to-text and pydub to stitch things together. [3]


  • Simon - an open source speech recognition program that can replace your mouse and keyboard. The system is designed to be as flexible as possible and will work with any language or dialect.



  • Speech Signal Processing Toolkit (SPTK) - a suite of speech signal processing tools for UNIX environments, e.g., LPC analysis, PARCOR analysis, LSP analysis, PARCOR synthesis filter, LSP synthesis filter, vector quantization techniques, and other extended versions of them. This software is released under the Modified BSD license.SPTK was developed and has been used in the research group of Prof. Satoshi Imai (he has retired) and Prof. Takao Kobayashi (currently he is with Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology) at P&I laboratory, Tokyo Institute of Technology. A sub-set of tools was chosen and arranged for distribution by Prof. Keiichi Tokuda (currently he is with Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Nagoya Institute of Technology) as a coordinator in cooperation and other collaborates (see "Acknowledgments" and "Who we are" in README).The original source codes have been written by many people who took part in activities of the research group. The most original source codes of this distribution were written by Takao Kobayashi (graph, data processing, FFT, sampling rate conversion, etc.), Keiichi Tokuda (speech analysis, speech synthesis, etc.), and Kazuhito Koishida (LSP, vector quantization, etc.).


  • speechrate - software for the analysis of speech. Below you will find a script that automatically detects syllable nuclei in order to measure speech rate without the need of a transcription. Peaks in intensity (dB) that are preceded and followed by dips in intensity are considered as potential syllable nuclei. The script subsequently discards peaks that are not voiced. On this page you find an example of how the script works.





  • Wit.ai - makes it easy for developers to build applications and devices that you can talk or text to. Our vision is to empower developers with an open and extensible natural language platform. Wit.ai learns human language from every interaction, and leverages the community: what’s learned is shared across developers.







  • https://github.com/espnet/espnet - an end-to-end speech processing toolkit, mainly focuses on end-to-end speech recognition and end-to-end text-to-speech. ESPnet uses chainer and pytorch as a main deep learning engine, and also follows Kaldi style data processing, feature extraction/format, and recipes to provide a complete setup for speech recognition and other speech processing experiments.

Analysis

ESPS

  • ESPS - Entropic Signal Processing System, is a package of UNIX-like commands and programming libraries for speech signal processing. As a commercial product of Entropic Research Laboratory, Inc, it became extremely widely used in phonetics and speech technology research laboratories in the 1990's, in view of the wide range of functions it offered, such as get_f0 (for fundamental frequency estimation), formant (for formant frequency measurement), the xwaves graphical user interface, and many other commands and utilities. Following the acquisition of Entropic by Microsoft in 1999, Microsoft and AT&T licensed ESPS to the Centre for Speech Technology at KTH, Sweden, so that a final legacy version of the ESPS source code could continue to be made available to speech researchers. At KTH, code from the ESPS library (such as get_f0) was incorporated by Kåre Sjölander and Jonas Beskow into the Wavesurfer speech analysis tool. This is a very good alternative way to use many ESPS functions if you want a graphical user interface rather than scripting.


NICO toolkit

  • NICO toolkit - mainly intended for, and originally developed for speech recognition applications, a general purpose toolkit for constructing artificial neural networks and training with the back-propagation learning algorithm. The network topology is very flexible. Units are organized in groups and the group is a hierarchical structure, so groups can have sub-groups or other objects as members. This makes it easy to specify multi-layer networks with arbitrary connection structure and to build modular networks.

Speech Research Tools

  • https://sourceforge.net/projects/speechresearch - Software for speech research. It includes programs and libraries for signal processing, along with general purpose scientific libraries. Most of the code is in Python, with C/C++ supporting code. Also, contains code releases corresponding to publishe


HAT

  • Higgins Annotation Tool - can be used to transcribe and annotate speech with one or more audio tracks (such as dialogue). Windows.

Festival

  • Festival - or The Festival Speech Synthesis System, offers a general framework for building speech synthesis systems as well as including examples of various modules. As a whole it offers full text to speech through a number APIs: from shell level, though a Scheme command interpreter, as a C++ library, from Java, and an Emacs interface. Festival is multi-lingual (currently English (British and American), and Spanish) though English is the most advanced. Other groups release new languages for the system.
  • Festvox - aims to make the building of new synthetic voices more systemic and better documented, making it possible for anyone to build a new voice.


Rocaloid

  • Rocaloid - a free, open-source singing voice synthesis system. Its ultimate goal is to fast synthesize natural, flexible and multi-lingual vocal parts.  Like other vocal synthesizing software, after installing the vocal database, inputting lyrics and pitch, you can synthesize attractive vocal parts. What’s more, Rocaloid highlights on providing you more controllable parameters which enabling to take control of exquisite dimensions of the synthesized voice and export with better quality. By using a fully constructed Rocaloid Database, you can synthesize singing voice in any phonetic-based languages.

Festvox

  • Festvox - aims to make the building of new synthetic voices more systemic and better documented, making it possible for anyone to build a new voice. Specifically we offer: Documentation, including scripts explaining the background and specifics for building new voices for speech synthesis in new and supported languages. Example speech databases to help building new voices. Links, demos and a repository for new voices. This work is firmly grounded within Edinburgh University's Festival Speech Synthesis System and Carnegie Mellon University's small footprint Flite synthesis engine.


MaryTTS

  • MaryTTS is an open-source, multilingual Text-to-Speech Synthesis platform written in Java. It was originally developed as a collaborative project of DFKI’s Language Technology Lab and the Institute of Phonetics at Saarland University. It is now maintained by the Multimodal Speech Processing Group in the Cluster of Excellence MMCI and DFKI.


eSpeak

  • eSpeak - a compact open source software speech synthesizer for English and other languages, for Linux and Windows. eSpeak uses a "formant synthesis" method. This allows many languages to be provided in a small size. The speech is clear, and can be used at high speeds, but is not as natural or smooth as larger synthesizers which are based on human speech recordings.


  • https://github.com/divVerent/ecantorix - a singing synthesis frontend for espeak. It works by using espeak to generate raw speech samples, then adjusting their pitch and length and finally creating a LMMS project file referencing the samples in sync to the input file.

OpenSource SpeechSynth


MBROLA


Assistive Context-Aware Toolkit


Praat

  • Praat - doing phonetics by computer


Gnuspeech

  • gnuspeech - makes it easy to produce high quality computer speech output, design new language databases, and create controlled speech stimuli for psychophysical experiments. gnuspeechsa is a cross-platform module of gnuspeech that allows command line, or application-based speech output. The software has been released as two tarballs that are available in the project Downloads area of http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnuspeech. [10]


Project Merlin


UTAU

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utau - a Japanese singing synthesizer application created by Ameya/Ayame. This program is similar to the Vocaloid software, with the difference that it is shareware instead of being released under third party licensing

IPOX

  • IPOX - an experimental, all-prosodic speech synthesizer, developed many years ago by Arthur Dirksen and John Coleman. It is still available for downloading, and was designed to run on a 486 PC running Windows 3.1 or higher, with a 16-bit Windows-compatible sound card, such as the Soundblaster 16. It still seems to run on e.g. XP, but I haven't tried it on Vista.


NPSS


Pink Trombone

Klatter

  • https://github.com/fundamental/klatter - a bare bones formant synthesizer based upon the description given in the 1979 paper "Software For a Cascade/Parallel Formant Synthesizer" by Dennis Klatt. This program was not designed for interactive use, though there is code for some minimal midi control. In it's current state, it is enough of a curiosity that it will be preserved, though it may not see much if any use.
