IBM Text-to-Speech: Unconstrained U.S. English Text Demo

This page demonstrates some of our work in unconstrained text-to-speech research. Our system generation process is automatic and can be built for any custom voice. From each voice recording, small segments of speech are extracted and stored in our speech database. During synthesis, these speech segments are assembled using specially crafted algorithms to generate any word in the language. Type in your text below and check it out.

IBM's commercial TTS site contains more access points to available IBM products and product information.

To hear synthesized speech, (30 words or fewer) and press "Speak" - audio player will be launched*:
  

:
New U.S. Female (22 kHz sampling rate)
New U.S. Male (still under development) (22 kHz sampling rate)
