Hi Ian and others,
Thank you for your suggestions.
I like the project that youre working on, but I dont know yet if I want to
send the phonemes out in public when the song is finished. However, Ill
think about it, and take youre use of them into consiteration. As for which
song Im making, if I choose one of the songs you suggested, itll probably
be leaving on a jet plane. After thinking about it for some days, Im
wavering between two songs: Leaving on a jet plane and Rainbow Connection,
the last song in the medley. However, Ill still take suggestions into
consiteration.
Best regards:
Aksel Christoffersen

Hi Aksel/all
Im a relative newcomer to the list, and have been quietly lurking for the
past couple of months, so this is my first post.
Id vote for the first two Leaving on a Jet Plane and Sweet Home Alabama.
I wonder if you could be so kind as to supply the phonemes for the songs
if/when you complete them please?
The reason I ask is I first came across Dectalks 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
(Audmes MOVI) compatible with Arduino (the boards I used to control the
robot) that could take Dectalk-compatable songs as input.
I could also sync his movements by placing servo commands at strategic
points in the songs. Here is an example with Queens Bohemian Rhapsody:

The backing track is also controlled by the robot, and is triggered via a
Bluetooth connection between the robots controller, and an mp3 player.
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.
Regards
Ian P
