Mary TTS voice variation - marytts

I am using mary tts 5.1 and the voice dfki-prudence (English female).
This voice variation is not working (in emotions like happy, sad, angry, etc.). But this emotion is working in the voice cmu-slt-hsmm(English female). Voice dfki-prudence(English female) is good.
How do I make changes in the dfki-prudence (English female) voice variation? Anyone know?

The dfki-prudence voice does not support the expressive styles.
Only dfki-pavoque-styles has this feature.
It is the answer from official github.

Yet unsolved problem with Google text to speech voice

I have a serious worry and problem as I am working with voice over narration (text to speech) and have used a site called VoiceGenerator.io, where I have used a specific female voice called:
Google UK English Female
Just a couple of days ago, I noticed to my utmost sadness, that this voice has changed to a different (horrific low quality voice).
The voice I used was crystal clear, elegant British lady voice.
I cannot understand this any other way, than Google has updated or changed this particular voice because on other free text to speech sites it is the same horrific too.
My simple question is: how can I get back the previous voice? Why was it changed?
How can I obtain the previous voice, no matter what means or costs? Hopefully for free of course as the site I use is free.
Highly appreciate any help regarding this very serious problem, as I need the exact voice to be able to continue my work.
Thanks in advance!
Kindly go through this supported list of voice.
You can hear sample voice also from list.

actions on google not using correct voice/personality

So I created this trivia game on Actions on Google for the Google Assistant, and one of the options is to choose the voice/personality that will talk when you're playing the game. I chose the "Mr. Montgomery" voice. You can hear the voice for yourself here https://developers.google.com/actions/templates/trivia
I published the game, but when I try it on my Google Home, it's not using the Mr Montgomery voice, it's using the voice set in this other option I found that lets you choose the voice gender but it doesn't give an example. I changed it to male and it is a male voice, but it isn't the Mr Montgomery voice given in the preview. Is there something else I have to do to make it use the Mr Montgomery voice?

VoiceOver : can I adapt different voices tones in swift?

I'm making a french app in accessibility and I'd like to use some english terms using VoiceOVer.
For that purpose, I decided to use the accessibilityAttributedLabel introduced in iOS 11 with [UIAccessibilitySpeechAttributeLanguage:"en"] only for english terms.
My problem is that french and english voices tones are quite different and that doesn't sound very well.
Does anyone know if it's possible to adjust the voices tones programmatically in this case ?
FYI, I found a workaround by translating all the sentence in phonetics using the UIAccessibilitySpeechAttributeIPANotation key.
I do not think you can change the voice tones, sorry

Programming iphone app using voice commands

Could anyone give me advice as to the most straightforward approach to integrate voice command in an app.
I have seen several posts that suggest using the sphinx speech recognition library, but they are dated 2 years.
Is the Siri API now available in the SDK?
Many thanks for any suggestions
Check this out: ispeech project
5 years past since the question was asked, and technologies didn't stay still all this time. Now, in iOS 10, Apple introduced two wonderful speech recognition frameworks:
SiriKit, which allows to handle voice commands in your app. Unfortunately, it's limited to several intents: VoIP Calling, Messaging, Payments, Photos, Workouts, Ride Booking, Car Commands, Car Play and Restaurant Reservations.
Speach Framework, that allows you to convert speech to text.

How can I change the recorded voices into fun voices in iPhone?

I have seen some iPhone apps in which recorded voices are made into fun voices. Is it possible to programmatically change recorded voices into fun voices using an iOS library?
I found some app like Voices 2 ~ fun voice changing!, Talking Tom etc. How do they do it?
It looks like OpenAL could give you what you want, and there are other options: See here and here, here, and here.
Talking Tom uses Dirac I think: http://dirac.dspdimension.com. They have a free LE version as well (should be sufficient for voice processing).
