I am currently trying to write a player for the DAISY 2
and 3 Digital Talking
Book formats for UNIX machines. One of the big great features of the
hardware DAISY players available is to set ones own prefers playback
speed while retaining the original pitch of the voice. This only works
within a certain percentage of variation of course, but it does
actually help a lot if you're used to fast speech. I am wondering
if there are any existing libraries/command-line tools to do this.
libsoundtouch appears to be the best open source resource for this at
the present time. there is another open source pitch/tempo shifting
but i forget its name. i had problems compiling and or using at a year
or 18 months ago.
