I wonder if you could be so kind as to supply the phonemes for the songs if/when you complete them please?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The reason I ask is I first came across Dectalk’s singing capability when I built a robot, and wanted him to perform songs. I could have just recorded songs on an mp3 player, but that would have been far too easy, and seemed a bit of a cheat. So after a bit of research I came across a TTS module (Audme’s MOVI) compatible with Arduino (the boards I used to control the robot) that could take Dectalk-compatable songs as input.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I could also sync his movements by placing servo commands at strategic points in the songs. Here is an example with Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4zl7TqNzLE">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4zl7TqNzLE</a><br><br>The backing track is also controlled by the robot, and is triggered via a Bluetooth connection between the robot’s controller, and an mp3 player.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It would be great if I could extend his repertoire to the two songs mentioned above, which just happen to be a couple of my favorites.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Regards<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Ian P<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
