Hey folks,
I grew up in the 80s in the USA and i still feel that vocoders are one
of the coolest sounding things ever. Most voice synthesis programs for
Linux are looking to make them sound as realistic as possible. I want to
go the other way.
Is there a way i can use espeak that will make it sound like it's going
through a vocoder? I've looked for different voices to do this and i'm
not finding anything.
Making my computer talk to me with the voice of a Cylon from the old
Battlestar Galactica show or perhaps GlaDOS for something more recent
would be great.
Any ideas at all? A different list perhaps?
I'll be using this for audial system notifications.
Thanks,

I've done that with pico2wave (from libttspico-utils) by just creating
WAV files of the speech I wanted and then running those through a
vocoder effect in Audacity. No reason you couldn't do the same in espeak
and then assign the resulting sound files to the various notifications.
I know, not as seamless as some kind of ALSA->JACK->effect chain, but
it's an option.

Thanks for all the suggestions on this folks. I appreciate it. What i
was hoping for was to set up notifications that will have notifications
that are dynamic. Thus a pre-recorded wave file won't do. I was hoping i
could make a MBROLA vocodered sounding voice, but it doesn't look like i
can.
