openevv

openevv is a portable implementation of IBM's Embedded ViaVoice text-to-speech engine, reengineered in C for compilation on non-Windows platforms, enabling text-to-speech functionality with byte-for-byte fidelity to IBM's original audio outputs. Its primary use case includes generating audio from text and serving as an add-on for screen readers, with features like multiple voice presets and the ability to produce wave files for playback on Linux systems. The tool is built entirely from scratch without reliance on IBM's SDK, and includes both command-line and graphical interfaces for user interaction.
