BOSS comes with a number of tools to facilitate the creation of new voices. A speech corpus for German (free for non-commercial use) can be downloaded at our website. Please visit the BOSS homepage at http://www.ikp.uni-bonn.de/boss for further information. The BOSS source code and binaries are hosted at the Sourceforge website: http://www.sf.net/projects/boss-synth The Institute for Communication Sciences invites everyone to participate in the development of the system or the creation of new corpora.
