Ukrainian voice for Speech API and program for converting text to speech

UkrVox is a Ukrainian voice for Speech API and a simple program for converting text to speech. This simple software can convert any written Ukrainian (as well as English and Russian) text into spoken words. The voice of the legendary Ukrainian radio announcer Ihor Murashko was used as the basis of the Ukrainian voice.

Ukrainian text-to-speech software UkrVox has a solid linguistic base, tens of thousands of pre-basic words, support for word formation and morphological analysis of texts.

After starting the program, a window opens with a form where you can insert text for voicing. Inserting can be done by simply copy-pasting or importing from a text document. You can listen to the inserted text or save it to a WAV file. The sliders below the form allow you to adjust the speed and volume of the generated audio. Clicking on the settings button will open a corresponding window where you can fine-tune the speech options.
