pyopenjtalk

A python wrapper for OpenJTalk.

The package consists of two core components:

Text processing frontend based on OpenJTalk
Speech synthesis backend using HTSEngine

Notice

The package is built with the modified version of OpenJTalk. The modified version provides the same functionality with some improvements (e.g., cmake support) but is technically different from the one from HTS working group.
The package also uses the modified version of hts_engine_API. The same applies as above.

Before using the pyopenjtalk package, please have a look at the LICENSE for the two software.

Build requirements

The python package relies on cython to make python bindings for open_jtalk and hts_engine_API. You must need the following tools to build and install pyopenjtalk:

C/C++ compilers (to build C/C++ extentions)
cmake
cython

Supported platforms

Linux
Mac OSX
Windows (MSVC) (see this PR)

Installation

pip install pyopenjtalk

Development

To build the package locally, you will need to make sure to clone open_jtalk and hts_engine_API.

git submodule update --recursive --init

and then run

pip install -e .
