DeepSpeech is an open source embedded (offline, on-device) speech-to-text engine which can run in real time on devices ranging from a Raspberry Pi 4 to high power GPU servers. DeepSpeech is an open-source Speech-To-Text engine, using a model trained by machine learning techniques based on Baidu's Deep Speech research paper. Project DeepSpeech uses Google's TensorFlow to make the implementation easier. A pre-trained English model is available for use and can be downloaded following the instructions in the usage docs. If you want to use the pre-trained English model for performing speech-to-text, you can download it (along with other important inference material) from the DeepSpeech releases page.

Ever wanted to cut out background noise when talking with others on Skype? Now it's possible! NoiseGator is a light-weight noise gate application that routes audio through an audio input to an audio output. In real-time the audio level is analysed and if the average level is higher than the threshold the audio bypasses as normal. However, if the average level goes below the threshold, the gate closes and the audio is cut. When used with a virtual audio cable it can act as a noise gate for a either a sound input(microphone) or sound output(speakers). Can also be used to gate noise from your own mic or play your microphone through your speakers. REQUIREMENTS: - Java 7 or higher for Windows. - Java 6 or higher for Mac. Java 7 recommended. - A virtual audio cable is required for use with VOIPs: For Windows users I recommend the VB-Cable driver (http://vb-audio.pagesperso-orange.fr/Cable/index.htm). Mac users can use SoundFlower.

eGuideDog project develops free software for the blind. Currently, we focus on WebSpeech, Ekho TTS and WebAnywhere.

WaveSurfer is an open source tool for sound visualization and manipulation. Typical applications are speech/sound analysis and sound annotation/transcription. WaveSurfer may be extended by plug-ins as well as embedded in other applications.

RHVoice is a free and open-source multilingual speech synthesizer. Its developers hope to give more visually impaired people the ability to use a good free synthesis voice reading in their native language with their screen reader. We are especially interested in supporting those languages for which there are currently no good voices that could be used with a screen reader. The creator of RHVoice, Olga Yakovleva, is blind herself. Many of the contributors to the RHVoice project, both programmers and non-programmers, are blind or partially sighted.

Mumble is an open source, low-latency, high quality voice chat software primarily intended for use while gaming. It includes game linking, so voice from other players comes from the direction of their characters, and has echo cancellation so the sound from your loudspeakers won't be audible to other players.

Simple TTS Reader is a small utility that reads text from your clipboard using Microsoft Speech API. Whenever you copy any text, the app instantly converts it into spoken words. Select your preferred speech engine from those installed on your system, such as Microsoft Zira, and adjust speed and volume for personalized playback. The application can also be minimized to the system tray. Plus, it is free and comes with an intuitive interface that makes it accessible to everyone.

hts_engine is software to synthesize speech waveform from HMMs trained by the HMM-based speech synthesis system (HTS). This software is released under the Modified BSD license.

SPTK is a suite of speech signal processing tools for UNIX environments, e.g., LPC analysis, PARCOR analysis, LSP analysis, PARCOR synthesis filter, LSP synthesis filter, vector quantization techniques, and other extended versions of them.

MARF is a general cross-platform framework with a collection of algorithms for audio (voice, speech, and sound) and natural language text analysis and recognition along with sample applications (identification, NLP, etc.) of its use, implemented in Java.

Clavier virtuel et synthétiseur vocal pour les personnes ne pouvant plus parler et ayant du mal à utiliser leurs mains. Virtual keyboard and speech synthetiser for people with reduced mobility and unability to speak. In French and english.

Library for performing speech recognition, with support for several engines and APIs, online and offline. Recognize speech input from the microphone, transcribe an audio file, save audio data to an audio file. Show extended recognition results, calibrate the recognizer energy threshold for ambient noise levels (see recognizer_instance.energy_threshold for details). Listening to a microphone in the background, various other useful recognizer features. The easiest way to install this is using pip install SpeechRecognition. The first software requirement is Python 2.6, 2.7, or Python 3.3+. This is required to use the library. PyAudio is required if and only if you want to use microphone input (Microphone). PyAudio version 0.2.11+ is required, as earlier versions have known memory management bugs when recording from microphones in certain situations. To hack on this library, first make sure you have all the requirements listed in the "Requirements" section.
