Have You Heard Computers Sing? Text to speech... or Text to song?

Recommended Posts

I bumped into this page:when I was browsing the internet Posted Image

 

Scroll down to the bottom, and you'll hear some pretty amazing songs! Sung by text to speech synthesized voices!

It'll be awhile before they hit the top ten, but still quite an advancement. There doesn't seem to be an end to where all this technology is taking humankind. Next thing will be a computer to walk your dog...

Wow, now that will be an interesting toy to play with on the pc. Specially since Im not really a good singer and its hard to get someone to sing to the music I make. Thats pretty cool.

Is it just me or does this seem to be one of the weirdest and probably most pointless things Microsoft has ever developed? Would people go out and buy a CD of Microsoft Sam singing "You Have Selected Microsoft Sam As The Computer's Default Voice"? It'd certainly not make the top ten.

Wow... they don't sound they if it was sang by a computer..
Anyway, it is possible if I could download the software? And is it free for download?
I cannot find a download link there...

Also, this may be somewhat related to Speakonia posted on the board earlier..

Mark and melanie should release a single, i'd buy it :( It's quirky and cute. Can you imagine it, if you got a good enough computer voice you could be making millions out of a computerised popstar and everyone could do it!

It's still a noticeable difference between the computer and human but this is a huge improvement from the current computer that are loaded on most windows machines. The first time I heard a computer sing was with bonzi buddy many years ago and it was singing bicycle. Hearing this new technology and comparing it's quite amazing how life-like this is getting.
