Salut,
Après quelques échanges de mails sur la liste ViaVoice,
j'ai obtenu (de source fiable) les renseignements suivants :
1- Mandrake 7.2 Power Pack Deluxe contient le paquetage IBM du run-time
ViaVoice en français ! C'est plus que ce dont nous avons besoin
puisque ce paquetage contient non seulement les aspects
Text-To-Speech (Outloud) qui intéresse BigLux
mais aussi les fonctionnalités (ASR) de reconnaissance de la parole.
2- ce paquetage n'est pas libre et nécessite pour chaque utilisateur :
- soit qu'il achète Mandrake 7.2 Power Pack Deluxe,
- soit qu'il trouve un autre distributeur licencié par IBM pour la
diffusion de ce paquetage (pour le moment il ne semble pas que
cette alternative existe)
La bonne nouvelle c'est que donc, techniquement, des développements
sous Linux de synthèse vocale française utilisant Viavoice sont
possibles,
pour un cout raisonnable.
Je suis bien tenté d'essayer ...
A+

nonenglishlanguages ?

You could develop an application using the ViaVoice TTS SDK for Linux
and the ViaVoice TTS French Runtime which is part of the ViaVoice
Dictation for Linux (French) product included Mandrake 7.2 Power Pack
Deluxe. You could then require users of your application to purchase
the Mandrake 7.2 Power Pack Deluxe and install the ViaVoice Dictation
for Linux (French) product included in that package to be used as the
runtime for your application.
But you may not redistribute a ViaVoice TTS runtime without purchasing
a license agreement.
