@acqq: Shameless plug. This doesn't seem to have speech. However, I've tried to build a text to speech synthesizer in www.voiceclonr.com. Appreciate if you could try and leave feedback.

If I understood correctly the open-sourced version uses as an example the Microsoft's Speech API. Searching for which I find the gems like this:

"System.Speech has a memory leak - by eoghanoh

Status: Closed as Won't Fix"

I see your work is based on http://hts.sp.nitech.ac.jp/ Can you tell us what are your changes?

Edit: I see HN already commented your work:

So much developer rage in that Status :) On the HMM stuff, it was pretty much the baseline code from the link. The things I recall experimenting were more about getting it done faster (threading some training phases, different gcc options during synthesis etc).

So the core and a really important part (speech synthesis) is still closed source.

That's a shame really, I was really looking forward to try it out. And the title is grossly misleading.
