MARY TTS 4.3.0: Release notes
This is a feature release, adding new features while maintaining compatibility with existing 4.x voices.
This release marks the final results of work on MARY TTS in the PAVOQUE project, in which we experimented with different technologies for adding expressivity to unit selection synthesis. The release makes available those project results that may be of interest to a wider audience.
New features for expressive unit selection synthesis
- selecting style from a multi-style database using a symbolic style feature;
- imposing target prosody using FD-PSOLA signal modification.
New expressive voice
- we release the multi-style expressive German voice 'pavoque-dfki-styles'; see Steiner et al. (2010) for a description of this voice.
New language: Russian
Bugfixes
- This release also includes a number of bugfixes, see
