Hi.

Does anyone know where/if I can find an Esperanto text to speech program that uses a real human voice?

It would be a great help in learning to speak the language correctly and avoid developing bad habits that would then have to be unlearned.

Cheers.

It might be helpful to add whether you are using Windows, Linux or Mac & which version.

For Windows 7, if that helps.

Cheers.

I don't know of such a program, though if you're careful with your orthography, a Polish text to speech can almost work.

In my opinion your best bet is to focus on listening to recordings of a written text, done by an actual person. Read it through in your head, then listen to it and see how the actual person pronounces it in a natural voice.

Some of the Vere aŭ Fantazie stories in lernu's library are accompanied by recordings.

Parolu has bad quality, unfortunately, but it’s probably better than nothing.

According to a parallel German-language thread, you can use ivona’s Polish voice and replace:
ĥ=ch
ĉ=cz
ŝ=sz
ĝ=dż
ĵ=rz
ŭ=ł

Try Esperanta Retradio.(http://www.start.at/retradio) There You can listen every day to a new text and you can also read it. It is slowly spoken.

Is there a new site for Retradio?

Google Translate has text-to-speech, which for most languages sound like a human but it sounds like your standard robotic TTS for Esperanto. Still, it's something.

eSpeak is a TTS lib with Esperanto as an included language. (You can install espeak-gui for a graphical program w/ Esperanto available)

Festival is another TTS lib, and it appears to have an Esperanto voice, too.
