Emofilt

Overview

Description:

Emofilt is an open source program to simulate emotional arousal with speech synthesis based on the free-for-non-commercial-use MBROLA synthesis engine written in the Java programming language. The emotional simulation is achieved by a process of transforming the intermediate MBROLA format (phoneme chain and prosody) based on rules. It is largely customizable with an interface to develop own rules and even own modification algorithms.
