We are looking for a text-to-speech engine which can produce good quality sound files for Indian languages like Hindi, Tamil, Marathi either in Java or any other platform for offline use.
For English, there is an abundance of Text-to-Speech engines but not able to get any for language like Hindi.

I am trying to build a Japanese ocr using Google ML-Kit.
It is working for english but for Japanese I don't have the luck.
Can you please provide an example to do the same?
Thank you!
The current Text Recognition in ML Kit does not support non-English languages, but we are adding more languages support including Japan, which should be available in a couple of releases.

I would like to know what language codes (like "en","de","fr"...) could be substituted for ???. I am looking for all of them.
According to Google, the following are the supported languages:
Danish
Dutch
English
Finnish
French
German
Italian
Polish
Portuguese (BR)
Russian
Spanish
Swedish
I'm sure you can extrapolate the two letter codes.
Don't be surprised if you try other languages and they work as well - it's typical for Google to beta test stuff like this live without letting anyone know. You could also install the toolbar and see if any other new languages show up.
Does anyone know what software is behind the speech synthesis feature on Google Translate - it does a pretty good job in a number of languages.
I'm not sure but I found;
eSpeak
eSpeak is a compact open source software speech synthesizer for
English and other languages, for Linux and Windows.

Google has their own technology. If they would tell us how they do everything, no one would use their services anymore.
Is there any opensource library that I could use to feed the letters and sounds and produce a text to speech system.
What must I do to start from scratch? Python would be my language of choice so where must I be headed to develop my own text to speech in my language.
Here's a list of a few Open Source TTS engines:
MBrola
FreeTTS
Festival Speech Synthesis
FLite
Festvox
GnuSpeech
Epos Speech
Maybe one of the covers what you're looking for.
i would like to know if the microsoft TTS SDK supports the Arabic language. If it does how? If it does not, is there any way to convert arabic text to speech?
please, i want my program to read arabic text using VB 2008.
Microsoft's TTS SDK (SAPI) is language-agnostic - it relies on TTS engines to actually transform the text to speech.
That being said, as far as I know, there are no free Arabic TTS engines available.
Acapela has an Arabic male and female voice available for purchase, but I have no idea how much it costs.
