Golang C bindings for the espeak voice synthesizer.
There is a live demo of its usage at https://go-espeak-demo.djangulo.com, source code in examples/demo.
Sub-package native contains a mostly C implementation, minimizing the amount of Go used. This implementation is slightly faster than the go implementation, with the inconvenience of being a black box from the input to the .wav.
- Go >= 1.15 with
cgosupport espeak.
