README

      1 Sonic is a simple algorithm for speeding up or slowing down speech.  However,
      2 it's optimized for speed ups of over 2X, unlike previous algorithms for changing
      3 speech rate.  The Sonic library is a very simple ANSI C library that is designed
      4 to easily be integrated into streaming voice applications, like TTS back ends.
      5 
      6 The primary motivation behind Sonic is to enable the blind and visually impaired
      7 to improve their productivity with open source speech engines, like espeak.
      8 Sonic can also be used by the sighted.  For example, Sonic can improve the
      9 experience of listening to an audio book on an Android phone.
     10 
     11 A native Java port of Sonic is in Sonic.java.  Main.java is a simple example of
     12 how to use Sonic.java.  To play with it, you'll need a "talking.wav" file in the
     13 current directory, and you'll want to change the speed, pitch or other
     14 parameters manually in Main.java, in the main method.

     19 Performance test:
     20 
     21 I sped up a 751958176 byte wav file with sonic (a 9 hour, 28 minute mono audio
     22 file encoded at 16-bit 11.KHz), but with the output writing disabled.  The
     23 reported time, running Ubuntu 11.04 on my HP Pavilion dm4 laptop was:
     24 
     25 real    0m50.839s
     26 user    0m47.370s
     27 sys     0m0.620s
     28 
     29 The Java version is not much slower.  It reported:
     30 
     31 real    0m52.043s
     32 user    0m51.190s
     33 sys     0m0.310s
