Flexvoice-HU Hungarian text-to-speech software

The Flexvoice text reader is the successor of the PC talker, developed by Mindmaker Kft (József Király and his team) in Hungary. The new software was officially announced in Hungary in 2002. Flexvoice was a hibryd system based on machine learning and formant synthesis. The newly developed inverse formant synthesizer has made it possible to describe and store the speech elements recorded from human speech with compressed phonetic data. Speech was synthesized by the formant synthesizer software. Flexvoice was able to speak in a variety of voices, also whispering and hoarse voices. The Flexvoice speech synthesizer has also been used in the VILÁGHALLÓ book reader application for the blind in Hungary.
