The Festival Speech Synthesis System

The Festival Speech Synthesis System offers a general framework for building speech synthesis systems. As a whole it offers full text to speech through a number APIs: from shell level, though a Scheme command interpreter, as a C++ library, from Java, and an Emacs interface. Festival is multi-lingual, but does not support as much languages as eSpeak NG.

It also supports Singing Synthesis using a custom XML format.
