Welcome to dramaTTS’s documentation!¶
About¶
dramaTTS parses scripts (plain text files) for theatre/screen plays and converts them into a multi-voice audio plays (wave-files).
While the script parsing functionality is provided by the dramaTTS program itself, it relies on external tools for the audio processing:
- The Festival Speech Synthesis System [1] (herein referred to as Festival) is used for speech synthesis
- Sound eXchange (SoX) [2] for audio post-processing.
SoX, Festival as well as voices and lexicons for Festival have to be installed in order to create audio output with dramaTTS (see Getting started).
