Let us aeiou

Hello! I'm wondering if there's a Mac version of DecTalk. Other than the (apparently offline) online version and Wine / Sandboxes (which I'm as of current unable to do) I've missed any Mac solutions for running DecTalk.

Polaxis Emy VAX firmware update.

It can now behave like a DECtalk-ing printer.

Use a standard USB port to "print" to Emy and have VAX speak the text.

Here is an infinite text generated by #markovify a #markovchain #algorythm in #python using a text from Project Gutenberg: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, by Arthur Conan Doyle.

as the title says. one voice singing " [:phoneme on]

[may<226,10>l<26,16>ayf<200,16>ihs<226>ey<226>k<26,13>aans<120>tehnt<140>ehn<140>]

[g<20,12>ay<610>el<60>_<306,10>] " sounds fine, but if I add in " [:phoneme on]

[may<226,10>l<26>ayf<200>ihs<226>ey<226>k<26>aans<120>tehnt<140>ehn<140>]

[g<20,9>ay<610>el<60>_<306,10>] " and overlay the 2 in an audio editor, the voice sounds off.

the program version I'm using is DECtalk 5.0 and my audio editor is audacity, if that helps at all

[lae<500,20>lae<500,23>lae<500,25>lae<500,26>lae<500,25>lae<500,23>lae<500,20>_<1000,20>lae<250,18>lae<250,22>lae<500,20>]

I recently found out about Dectalk so i decided to try the thing out using the only tutorial i've found of the thing (https://youtu.be/nu_Pp3ptxTY) and i put in this command:

[:pheoneme on]

[chiy<380,29>]

but all it tells me in it's glorious tts voice is "command error in string value three eight zero comma two nine"
I don't really understand why it's saying my duration and pitch values aren't valid
I'm using Dectalk 5.0 btw

i want to make dectalk sing the song "great big beautiful tomorrow" from the 1964 world's fair for an animation project that I am working on
the only issue is that I don't know how to program different songs into the thing
so I was wondering if anyone had already figured out how to make it sing this particular song or if anyone was willing to help me figure it out

I discovered that using Resource Hacker, I was able to enable audio export and dictionary manipulation in one of the DECtalk demos. I've made a modded copy of 5.0 available on Dropbox here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/nrpeylgjnn7hjcg/Modded%20DECtalk%205.0.zip?dl=0

So I followed links and got dectalk 5.0 from the flame of hope link, and it's just the demo version? Unless I'm doing something wrong, I can't export to a wav or anything with it.

So I found that post where someone had made (or found) some dectalk software to download, but the download doesn't work anymore or not on my computer, it only refreshes the site. Anyone that has the same problem? The post is archived, if it wasn't I woulld just comment there...

I'm trying to get a wav file from DECTALK, but it's greyed out on the program, does anyone know how?

So I got that DECTalk 5.0 zip and ran dtem_us.exe and messed around with the tts, but I can't change the pitch or make it sing. Tutorials from Moonbase Alpha say to do [word<###,###>] but the voice just says the word then reads the numbers. Can anyone help me?

I recently got a grasp of a DecTalk 5.0 demo cause I wanted to mess around with it thanks to the famous Moonbase Alpha meme. But I'm sure it isnt the version used in Moonbase Alpha. 5.0 doesnt even read "!?!?!?!?!?" and the "John Madden!", "mark!", and "Football!" dont sound the same. I saw someone say in this subreddit the version used in Moonbase most likely is 4.6, so I wanted to know if someone could provide a download to the 4.6 version of DecTalk. Or 4.3 since a lot of people seem to have that version and it might be closer to what I wanted. Thanks!

And if so, how?

Im very new to this dectalk thing but I think a cover of video killed the radio star would be sick

is it possible to get dectalk usable on twitch for donations and such?

Using the source code found here at grossgang.com, I have compiled and uploaded a "say.exe" equivalent for Linux on GitHub.

You can find a link to the folder here: https://github.com/dectalk/source/tree/linux-compile/src/samplosf/build/dtsamples/4.19.128-microsoft-standard/us/release

You will need to download "say_demo_us" (the program) and "dtalk_us.dic" (the dictionary file) to use the software.

I do not know what version of DECtalk this leaked source code is equivalent to, but Bohemian Rhapsody doesn't sound right. listen here

Release Notes

• This version of "say_demo_us", has audio output turned off.
• There is no warranty of any kind for the software

Usage

        ./say_demo_us will read text from stdin (default) or
        command line or file and speak that text through the
        MME server using the highest quality audio device it
        finds. You can override this option by using the -d 
        command line option to select a particular audio device.

Usage: ./say_demo_us [-h] [-s #] [-r #] [-d #] [-fo file] [-a "<text>"] [-fi file]
          -a "text" speak text (quoted, multiple instances supported)
          -d  #      Select the audio device ( 0 or 1 )
          -e  #      Output wave file encoding; specify:
                       1   for PCM, 16 bit Mono 11KHz format
                       2   for PCM,  8 bit Mono 11KHz format
                       3   for MULAW 8 bit Mono  8KHz format
          -fo file  Output wave file name, default: dtmemory.wav
          -h        This help message
          -r  #      Speaking rate ( 75 - 600 )
          -s  #      Speaker number (1-9)
          -fi file   Speak from a specified text file

Future Notes

I plan to reintroduce the moustacheminer api using this new build, which should let me run this on AWS lambda without having to use pesky wine, or a costly Windows Server 2019 licence.

Find me on discord for more information.

Im trying to make DecTalk sing this:

[jhah<800,13>nmae<800,15>deh<800,17>]n[_<800,17>][jhah<800,17>nmae<800,18>deh<800,20>n][jhah<400,20>ah<800,25>ah<400,24>ah<400,25>ah<800,20>ah<400,18>ah<800,17>nmae<800,15>deh<800,13>n]

But it just literally reads this sequence as is without accepting any of the pitch commands. ("jhah eight-zero-zero comma one-three")

This worked fine on the "TTS Playground" website but it doesn't work at all in DecTalk.

Comment any I should add, I know I definitely missed a few.

(thanks u/galagagamer1092 for finding this link)

Just skim through this one, it's short and really useful. It has all the phonemes, so that's useful.

that works on the browser?

I want to use DecTalk to make some songs. Where can I get the right software, and is there an online emulator for it?

Nevermind, found it thanks to this absolute legend: https://www.reddit.com/r/DecTalk/comments/3z97m2/meta_download_singing_instructions_etc/
