PhatVoice is a freeware add-on to the PhatNoise system which improves on the speech generation capabilities of the PhatNoise Music Manager. It does this in three ways:

• Using hints to improve the pronunciation of words.
• Generating speech for song titles.
• Utilizing additional Natural Voices (if installed).

The current release is PhatVoice V2.0 of 7-Oct-2003.

Currently available downloads are:

• PhatVoice Setup Wizard
• PhatVoice zipfile
• PhatVoice manual in PDF form (included in both the Setup Wizard and zipfile kits)
• PhatVoice source code zipfile

An online copy of the PhatVoice manual in HTML format can be browsed here.

Several mailing lists for PhatVoice users are available here.

Additionally, here is the phrase "Welcome to the PhatNoise Car Audio System" as spoken by each of the AT&T Natural Voices, so you can get an idea what they sound like.
