A male German unit selection voice built from from the PAVOQUE Corpus of Expressive Speech
This voice provides different expressive styles, which can be triggered by wrapping a RAWMARYXML request into a prosody element:
<prosody style="STYLE">...</prosody>where STYLE is one of happy, angry, sad, or poker.
See Steiner et al. (2010) for details.
You will need to have Java, Praat, SoX, and the Edinburgh Speech Tools installed.
On OSX with Homebrew, do
$ brew cask install java praat
$ brew install sox speech-tools
as needed.
On Debian-based Linux (including Ubuntu), do
$ sudo apt-get install default-jdk praat sox speech-tools
accordingly.
You will also need to have SSH configured to access cloudark.
Do
$ ./gradlew legacyInit
To assemble, test, and package the voice for another MaryTTS installation, do
$ ./gradlew build
The packaged files will be placed under build/distributions.
Copy the zip file and xml descriptor into your MaryTTS installation's download directory, then run the marytts-component-installer to install the voice.
To build the voice and run it in an ad-hoc MaryTTS server, do
$ ./gradlew run
Then, go to http://localhost:59125.
