Call for partnership
As Epos is still a very young and evolving system,
we're very open to any comments and especially cooperation. In particular,
diphone inventories and rule files for other languages than Czech and Slovak
are relatively easy to add for some languages, and we will be happy to
provide the necessary instruction and support for this. Also, Epos is currently
unable to perform a complex syntactic analysis of a text or to apply a
context dependent probabilistic model to distinguish between homographs
in languages like English. These and other limitations offer wide room
for experimentation and improvement, and the modular structure makes Epos
an ideal environment for testing potential Text-to-Speech components without
the need to reimplement the rest of the system. If you have a question
about the Epos Speech System, you can send it to the Epos developers' mailing
list, namely epos@braille.mff.cuni.cz.
