"WCSLIB is a C library, supplied with a full set of Fortran wrappers, that
implements the "World Coordinate System" (WCS) convention in FITS (Flexible
Image Transport System). It also includes a PGPLOT-based routine, PGSBOX,
for drawing general curvilinear coordinate graticules and a number of
utility programs." - from README file.
Bcg729 is a software G729A encoder and decoder library written in C, developed
by Belledonne Communications, the company supporting the Linphone project.
It was written from scratch and is NOT a derivative work of ITU reference
source code in any kind.
It can be executed on many platforms, including both ARM and x86 with very
decent performances. libbcg729 supports concurrent channel encoding/decoding
for multi-call applications such as conferencing.
Festival documentation in texinfo, HTML, DVI and PostScript formats
from the authors:
The Festival Speech Synthesis System is a general multi-lingual
text-to-speech system for Unix platforms. It is written in C++ and
includes a Scheme-based scripting language. Included with Festival
are lexicons and voices that together form a whole text-to-speech
system.
For output via esd do:
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Method 'esdaudio)
NAS and direct output are documented in section 23 of the users'
manual.
If you need the OGI extensions, install ports/audio/festival+OGI instead.

This is the Oxford Advanced Learner's pronunciation dictionary
(British English), modified for the Festival speech synthesis
system.
Quality free Czech diphone database.
Primary goal is for speech system Festival but it's not limited on it. Sources,
sound files and boundaries are available so it can be used in other free
speech synthesizer systems too.
note from the NetBSD maintainer:
This voice uses a very small and efficient pulse-excited LPC diphone
synthesis method. It was originally written by Steve Isard. The
front end uses the same British English lexicon, intonation and
duration methods as rab_diphone.
This voice can be activated via (voice_don_diphone).

from the NetBSD maintainer:
This voice provides a Castilian Spanish male voice using a residual
excited LPC diphone synthesis method. The lexicon is provided by
a set of letter to sound rules producing pronunciation accents and
syllabification. The durations, intonation and prosodic phrasing
are minimal but are acceptable for simple examples.
This voice can be activated via (voice_el_diphone) .
from the NetBSD maintainer:
This voice provides an American English male voice using a residual
excited LPC diphone synthesis method. It uses the CMU Lexicon
pronunciations. Prosodic phrasing is provided by a statistically
trained model using part of speech and local distribution of breaks.
Intonation is provided by a CART tree predicting ToBI accents and
an F0 contour generated from a model trained from natural speech.
The duration model is also trained from data using a CART tree.
