I'm working on a massively cool project at the moment. I'm hitting a wall as I source out the individual parts. I need one of the TTS voices to be post processed to sound more like a robot. There is one voice from Cereproc that is robot but I don't like the robot sound. I was looking for a windows program that would alter the voice as its spoken in realtime from EZ Bulider. Most of the programs I find are for altering a live mic, but they don't seem to effect the TTS voices. I've also looked into a post processing the voice on the speakers out, live with a toy placed inline after the computer to modulate the voice, but again i can't find anything anygood.
Any suggestions or good finds are welcome!?!

Crazy that it's this difficult to find something to make this work. I've spent alot of hours on the internet. There really are not any good physical modulator machines that i can place after the voice to change it. Some really cheap kits from China is all I can find. Especially if looking into creating robot voices. There are alot of pitch voice changers out there (male to female and vise versa). I just want an effects box or software that can affect any input from the computer ie anything that comes thru the sound card.
hi will
i use swiftalker and cepstral.with swiftalker you can modified and make voices.
yes they work in ARC.you can make frases and download that to folder text.and in ARC you can choose from that folder.
i wil make a video now so you can see and hear.
It will alter any sound playing live. There are about 7 effects you can layer up to get a robot sound...BUT..if you want to play music or anything else NOT the robot voice...then those sounds will have the effects applied to them as well. Also not sure what the overhead will be on the CPU. I am using the panda.
This robot will have a finite amount of replies and spoken words. So maybe its just bringing 50 phrases into a sound editing program and have ARC play back the mp3 files. Just more work though.
EDIT: Now I can see thats is what nomad did...created mp3 from the program and triggers those in ARC. I was hoping for anything i typed in the speech recognition script would be spoken as the robot.
cepstral has also a test page you can use to make a voice.you have to send them a mail asking for the link.
it has also lots of settings.a few minites downloading the video.
i am your father........will sounds great lol
demo cepstral
sounds great.the voices on cepstral cost from 10 dollars to 35 and 45 dollar one time payment.
just test the voice of damien.try it
here a little video how to use cepstral and swiftalker.
I always wanted to use it on my Cylon Halloween costume but I never had a windows computer small enough, now with the Panda computer it is very possible,all sound source input gets converted with no delay real time effect.
