We are happy to release the Online Tamil Text to Speech conversion software at http://tts.kaniyam.com
This is a Free Software. Get the source code here - https://github.com/KaniyamFoundation/tts-web This is made with Ubuntu/Linux, Python, Django, Celery, MySQL etc.
This online software can convert your Tamil text files to audio files in MP3 format. (TTS = Text To Speech)
Only Tamil Unicode text files are supported. File can be upto 100 MB.
The TTS conversion is slow process. It may take few hours to complete. Waiting with browser tab open for few hours is not possible. To notify the user, after the file conversion, sending email is one simple way. Thats why we ask for registering. Tell us if there are even better ways.
If you have more private, secret files, dont upload here. Dont upload to any of the online applications. Anyhow, this is Free/Open Source Software. you can install this in your home ubuntu/linux computer.
You can upload here general files, which are not too private to you. We have made essential settings so that you only can access your files. No other can access your files. (Except admins and server providers).
For now, we keep them for 3 days as testing. After three days, they will be deleted automatically.
Female voice is in testing. Will add soon.
Other languages TTS are in our action items. We are yet to find suitable TTS and how to use them. If you know about them, let us know.
Not 100%. As this is Free/Open source software, you can check its code at https://github.com/KaniyamFoundation/tts-web There are many security related things to do like adding SSL. Encrypting the files and hard disks etc. We will do them soon.
No. Not possible.
When you have only two wheeler vehicle, we hope, you wont try to fit a car seat on it and ride.
This is done with the awesome contributions of many.
