## Description
Mycroft TTS plugin for [Cotovia TTS](http://gtm.uvigo.es/cotovia)
### About Cotovia
Cotovia is a unit-selection text-to-speech system, i.e., generates the synthetic speech signal as a
concatenation of prerecorded segments. Cotovia determines the sequence of sounds, its intonation and
duration from the input text. Actually several intonation contours are considered in parallel and for
each one a sequence of speech units is selected. The final intonation contours is selected according to
the suitability of the sequence of speech units found.
### Voices
At this time two Galician voices are available at sourceforge. These two voices are also suitable for Spanish,
with little distortion, since the phonemes of Spanish may be considered a subset of Galician phonemes. The
nicknames of the two speakers are Iago and Sabela. Nevertheless you will find three voices available for
Cotovia:
* iago : Galician male speaker, duration of the recording: 80 minutes. It was Cotovia's first voice and the
quality is limited by the reduced recording time.
* sabela-large : Galician female speaker, duration of the recording: 14.5 hours. Use this voice if you want to
obtain maximum quality speech and you are not too worried about execution time.
* sabela: default speaker. A subset of Sabela's recordings (about 4 hours). A good compromise between quality
and execution time.
