- The initial development of flite was primarily done by awb while
- travelling, perhaps the name is doubly appropriate as a substantial
- amount of the coding was done over 30,000ft). During most of that
- time awb was funded by the Language Technonologies Institute at
- Carnegie Mellon University.
- Kevin A. Lenzo was involved in the design, conversion techniques and
- representions for the voice distributed with flite (as well as being
- the actual kal voice itself).
- Other contributions are:
- Henry Spencer
- For the regex code
- University of Edinburgh
- for releasing Festival for free, making a companion runtime synthesizer
- a practical project, much of the design of flite relies on the
- architecture decisions made in the Festival Speech Synthesis Systems and
- the Edinburgh Speech Tools.
- The duration cart tree and intonation (accent and F0) models were
- derived from the models in the Festival distribution. which in turn
- were trained from the Boston University FM Radio Data Corpus.
- Carnegie Mellon University
- The included lexicon is derived from CMULEX and the letter to sound
- rules are constructed using the Lenzo and Black techniques for
- building LTS decision graphs.
- Nagoya Institute of Technology
- The mlsa code derives from HTS (following a long chain)
- Tomoki Toda
- The mlsa and mlpg support came view Tomoki's support for voice convertion
- in FestVox which in turn (some of which) comes from NITECH's HTS.
- Marcela Charfuelan (DFKI)
- For the mixed-excitation techniques. These originally came from NITECH
- but we understood the technqiues from Marcela's Open Mary Java code and
- implemented them in our optimized version of MLSA.
- David Huggins-Daines (dhd@cepstral.com)
- much of the clunits code, porting to multiple platforms, substantial
- code tidy up and configure/autoconf guidance.
- Cepstral, LLC (http://cepstral.com)
- For supporting DHD to spend time (in 2001) on flite and passing
- back the important early fixes and enhancements including SAPI
- support (funded by Portuguese FCT to produce an open source
- synthesis solution).
- Willie Walker <william.walker@sun.com> and the rest of the Sun Speech Group
- lots of low level bugs (and fixes).
- Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) Praxis XXI program
- The SAPI interface provided by Cepstral, LLC was partially funded by
- the above program.
- Craig Reese: IDA/Supercomputing Research Center
- Joe Campbell: Department of Defense
- who wrote the ulaw conversion routines in src/speech/cst_wave_utils.c
- Mario Lang:
- causing the support of shared libraries to happen
- Eric House (fixin@peak.org)
- who provided examples of how to do 68K Call Backs for system functions
- Greg Parker gparker@sealiesoftware.com
- peal, the binding glue and shared library foo for getting the arm
- version doing something reasonable under PalmOS
- Lukas Loehrer <loehrerl@gmx.net> Feb 2006
- alsa support (default if available)
- Udhyakumar N
- For making the mixed excitation code work, and show its value
- Brian Langner
- redid the Visual Studio support
- Alok Parlikar
- Android support, and cg voice dumping (and loading), indic support
- Gopala Anumanchipalli
- spamf0 support, unitran integration
- Richard Sproat and Kyoung-young Kim (UIUC)
- Unitran: unicode to sampa grapheme mapping tables
- Sun Microsystems
- g72x code
