lojtalk 1.0 - a text-to-speech tool for lojban

Purpose:

  Reads a lojban word or phrase aloud. 

Requires:

  java 1.3 (1.2 ??)


Usage:

  java LojTalk lojban-text-to-read


How it works:

  Since lojban letters each have one and only
  one sound, LojTalk simply plays a sound file
  for each letter, one after the other.

  Most of the work involved was in getting a
  decent sounding recording for each letter.
  They could still use a little work. If you
  prefer, you can record your own.


Future directions:

  Probably none, though it might be interesting
  to figure out how to stress the penultimate
  (or capitalized) syllable... I suspect the
  only thing needed is to replace the vowel
  sound with a stronger one.
