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 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.
If I send this small piece of SSML to the speech processor I get two voices
<speak version='1.0' xml:lang='es-ES'>
<voice xml:lang='es-ES' xml:gender='Male' name='Microsoft Server Speech Text to Speech Voice (es-ES, Pablo, Apollo)'>
<p>
<s>Hola </s>
<s xml:lang='en'>Hello</s>
<s>¿Cómo estas?.</s>
</p>
</voice>
</speak>
A man in Spanish and a woman in English. Is this a limitation of the Project Oxford Text to Speech engine? in other words, I would expect the same voice to speak several languages but it looks like this is not the case.
To quote the SSML spec,
Specifying xml:lang does not imply a change in voice, though this may indeed occur. When a given voice is unable to speak content in the indicated language, a new voice may be selected by the processor.
While the current fallback behavior leaves something to desire, the recommendation is to create multiple voice nodes and pick a voice more explicitly when switching languages.
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.
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.
I am trying to make a html page including TTS - Text to Speech Synthesis System feature. Please suggest me some online good demos.
