Cool! Thank you! Used your music for Maze generator demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYq4KGaLKE8

Used your Organ music for a preview of my maze generation algorithm :) Thanks!

Like to it :) A little disbalance... however, native to most dungeoncrawlers. The menus & controls are not very convenient, ergonomics might get improved.

Works fine in WINE. However, sometimes hangs up, especially if too many bacground applications running & consuming memory.

just with eyes on him? 

Eyebrows might do the job. Or point the mouth upwards.

Wow! That's cool!!! It'd really save me from a lot of headache.

Thanks for the answer.

If nobody is against... Can I also ask a question?

As far as CC-BY style licenses do not permit to use them in DRMs e.g. Android play store games - what is the chance that author will respond to asking for the required permission?

I.e. I'm making a strategy game and using CC-BY(-SA) music&sound from OGA. I plan to publish it for free at Android play store as soon as it's finished. Do I have a chance to get a permission, or do I have to roll back and forget about CC-BY content? (or ask the Author(s) for permission before inclusion of the content in-game in order not to seek replacement afterwards)

Or like this (just a sketch idea)?

The first link on English phonetic sound google search lead me to http://www.antimoon.com/how/pronunc-soundsipa.htm . However, I'm not expert in linguistic and can't tell for sure if their list covers all required sounds for speech synthesis (appears not that large after all if it does - just about 40 sounds). Moreover they have the relative sounds recorded. They do not have an identified license thou.

This page http://teflpedia.com/IPA_phoneme_/%C9%99/ shows that it's not all that simple after all. And a simple phoneme may be pronounced differently depending on its location within the word.

It seems that "phonetic alphabet mp3" gives the required result. Maybe there are ready free-license available samples.

Well... I've already provided a sketch list of opensource programs that might contain a good set of the phonetic sounds under appliccable licenses: FreeTTS, Praat, Ekho, eSpeak, Festival. If not explicit then extractable. I'm afraid, its up to you, to check their repositories & maybe contact authors if the library is not available in a usable format. I don't think they use windows engines, 'cause they're linux.

I can't do that for you, because I'm not pro in speech synthesis and your innuendo request of 'Englis alphabet letters' seems to be incrorrect in my opinion. So I even wouldn't be able to formulate the request e-mail. And there are other problems to solve, I've pointed to in my previous posts. I've never done a speech synthesis program, so it's just a sketch of my virtual to-do list if I'd ever do it. Maybe I'm wrong.

But let's be more specific then. I'm a voice actor and I can contribute to the project. But since the first post I still have extremely little data on 'what to record' and 'what are the requirements', and when I try to point this out... I get an innuendo doggie... hmm... doesn't sound too good.

истес-но (read as yestestvenno :D)

I just remember a tiny DOS program reading Russian texts letter-by-letter and yielding relatively audible results if not expect too much. And couldn't understand then, in late 90s - early 2000s, why Engish speech synthesis was so awful in comparison.

P.S. was somewhat confused listening to speech synthesised blender tutorials :D However, contemporary synthesis quality is really high.
