Title: What voice synth was used in the Bitcoin amimated youtube videos?
Post by: Fog Fence on December 22, 2010, 10:27:54 AM
I like the voice in these, especially the strange way it intoned Bitcoin.

I'd like to use it for my own vids if someone can tell me what the software was, or if there are any other good freeware text to speech apps out there. Female robot voice would be the best.

OK thanks...

I doubt xtranormal uses open source software for speech synthetisis.

Here is "Bitcoin is a new digital currency created by Satoshi Nakamoto" made using the open source "festival" software.

... "Bitcoin is a new digital currency created by Satoshi Nakamoto" ...

Oh dear, is that really how "Satoshi" is pronounced? All this time I've been pronouncing it (in my head) with a short 'o' (like the 'o' in "splosh").
