IBM Text-To-Speech Software Development Kit

The IBM TTS SDK project open sources the eci.h header file for the first time and provides a stub libibmeci.so library with the ECI ABIs so that you can build open source modules without the need to buy the runtime first. Python bindings are also included. This could be beneficial when building Linux distributions and open source packages which use TTS. No TTS runtime code is provided.

Applications that might benefit from the IBM TTS SDK are:

• Gnome Speech
• Speech Dispatch
• Emacspeak
• Perl
• Python
• bLinux
• MisterHouse

You can buy IBM TTS Runtimes from the following:

• Buy single use IBM TTS Runtime from Capital Accessibility
• Buy bulk IBM TTS Runtimes from Wizzard Softare

See the ibmtts-sdk Sourceforge project for more details. API documentation can be found on the Wizzard Software website. Questions and comments regarding IBM TTS should be posted to the forum.
