I never wanted to do this in the first place!
I... I wanted to be...
A Lumberjack!
Leaping from tree to tree! As they float down the mighty rivers of
British Columbia! With my best girl by my side!
The Larch!
The Pine!
The Giant Redwood tree!
The Sequoia!
The Little Whopping Rule Tree!
We'd sing! Sing! Sing!
Oh, I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay,
I sleep all night and I work all day.
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch,
I go to the lavatry.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.
He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch,
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays 'e goes shoppin'
And has buttered scones for tea.
I cut down trees, I skip and jump,
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing,
And hang around in bars.
He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps,
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around.... In bars???????
I chop down trees, I wear high heels,
Suspenders and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie
Just like my dear papa.
He cuts down trees, he wears high heels
Suspenders and a .... a Bra????
What's this? Wants to be a *girlie*? Oh, My!
And I thought you were so rugged! Poofter!
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
This synthesis represents the current state of the Gnuspeech text-to-speech system. If you download the software for the Mac you can use "GnuTTSClient" to hear the conversion for test text. You can also use Monet to take test utterances and play with the intonation. Thanks to Steve Nygard and Dalmazio Brisinda for their essential help with getting the port to this stage. Those who are interested in taking the database creation stubs in Monet and porting the code needed to allow data base creation for modifying/improving the existing databases, or creating the databases required for new languages, please contact Professor Hill
