loading phoneme data in mimic

[TheSeriousProgrammer]

Is there a way to make mimic speak out with phoneme input??
Cause the speech produced is satisfactory ,but the pronunciation was'nt up to the mark

So i thought of obtaining phoneme output from espeak and load it into mimic , but i didnt find
a way to load the same into mimic

Is there a existing way?? Or can it be created ?? If so how??

You guys made a appreciable TTS but these small glitches put it a step down.
Kindly reply soon

Thanks in Advance

`mimic -p "phoneme string" should work.

Ex:
./mimic -p "pau hh ax l ow dh eh r pau"

Thanks ,that helped!!!

Sorry it didnt actually work.

The output provided by espeak for the phrase "hello there" looks like this
h@l'oU D'e@

i.e espeak only gives either mbrola phonetics data or ipa phonetics data.

how should i get speech output from mimic using those????

Mimic uses the arpabet so to get that working some sort of translation is needed.

@Chidhambararajan You may want to try the lexconvert script.
