Open MohamedAlaa opened 4 years ago
As a follow up to this I found two extensible open source TTS engines, one of which supports Arabic out of the box.
eSpeak is a cross-platform speech synthesizer that's based on the eSpeak engine and uses a "formant synthesis" method, so smaller size with a slight compromise to how realistic speech is.
There's also the Web Speech API which provides an easy interface for TTS on webpages. This would make the logic behind a plugin way easier, but will depend on the operation system to provide the voices.
Also, I just found out that NVDA uses eSpeak out of the box, but the quality needs a lot of work. This is out of scope for this issue tho. @MohamedAlaa
أظن من الممكن جداً نعمل حاجة زي كده بس آلية العمل هي اللي هتفرق ايه اللي هيكون موجود كا محرك ورا حاجة زي دي؟ حاجة كلاود ولا مدمجة كجزء من البلاجن نفسها؟
أظن الاول محتاجين حاجه نعملها تدريب انها تفهم الكلام العربي و بعدها هنقدر نحدد ايه الطريق اللي ممكن نمشي فيه.
اعتقد الداتا سيت ديه ممكن تساعد https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/en/datasets
أنا مهتم جداجدا بالموضوع ده @KL13NT
@abodacs
Are we able to do a plugin or a service that can read Arabic text?
