@datajake1999 I have a feeling we've all discovered most of the software synthesizers in existence.

@datajake1999 I have a feeling we've all discovered most of the software synthesizers in existence. There doesn't seem to be enough formant synthesizers other than DECTalk, Infovox, and SoftVoice.

@rommix0 @datajake1999 I assume MacinTalk is formant? And yes I agree with you, there's not enough of that stuff.

[datajake1999@dragonscave.space]

@rommix0 To add to the list of software based formant synthesizers: Eloquence, Orpheus, PrimoVox, MacinTalk 3, and eSpeak.

@jaybird110127 @datajake1999 indeed it is. I have enough insider info to know it is.

[rommix0@mindly.social]

@datajake1999 yeah pretty much all of it. PrimoVox being the most underrated one as First Byte during their Davidson and Associates era were sidelined rather quickly. What could have been as First Byte was legendary in making the first unit selection synthesizer ever with Smooth Talker (later renamed Monologue).

@datajake1999 @rommix0 did we ever find a full version of primovox?

[rommix0@mindly.social]

@spacepup @datajake1999 There always was a full version. The full CD of Monologue 97 is on the Internet Archive.
