SOJA
Speech Synthesis platform in JAva
Functional Description
SOJA is a software for Text-To-Speech synthesis (TTS) which relies on a non uniform unit selection algorithm. It performs all steps from text input to speech signal output. A set of associated tools is available for elaborating a corpus for a TTS system (transcription, alignment. . . ). Currently, the corpus contains about 3 hours of speech recorded by a female speaker. Most of the modules are in Java, some are in C. The SOJA software runs under Windows and Linux. It can be launched with a graphical user interface or directly integrated in a Java code or by following the client-server paradigm. During 2016, the part of code in C was reduced to go to a full-Java software in the future. The natural language processing can now be restarted from any step. This functionality is useful for instance during corpus processing when using semi-automatic boundaries correction.
