mmsyn7ukr: A simple basic interface to some SoX functionality or the approximately Ukrainian speech synthesizer with your own recorded voice.

A program and a library that can be used as a simple 
basic interface to some SoX functionality or for producing 
the approximately Ukrainian speech with your own recorded 
voice.

The program starts with Caution to be responsible for usage 
and to use it personally. Then the program guides you 
through the creating and using your Ukrainian \"voice\". 
Please, use it carefully. After the execution the program if 
terminated naturally without interruption removes (cleans) 
all the created sound files in the current directory for 
security reasons. If it terminates by interruption or in 
general it is a good practice to remove the current 
directory sound files manually.

        ***** CAUTION! *****

With great power comes great responsibility

The program mmsyn7ukr produces the approximately Ukrainian 
speech with your own recorded voice. It approximates your 
voice with a sequence of recorded separate sounds with 
your control over the duration of the sounds. They are then 
precessed by the SoX binaries in the system to produce the 
needed sounds and then you can spell some Ukrainian text 
with your recorded "voice". Be aware that if somebody can get 
access to the sounds of your voice or to the recorded speech 
except you then this possibility creates security issues and 
concerns. So, please, do NOT give access to the records to 
anybody else except you.

The program is for personal usage of every user ONLY!

As an advice, run the program in the empty writable, readable 
and seekable diractory only for the current user -- better 
in the RAM, wait until the program ends and then reboot the 
computer. If the program ends earlier, you must then remove 
(better wipe) the directory contents. No other users should 
have access to the computer after you have begun to run the 
program and have not deleted (or better wiped) the contents 
of the directory. Please, be aware, that there are possibilities 
to read sensitive information from the drives after you have 
deleted the files in a usual way. You can use wiping for better 
security. Besides, if somebody can get access to the memory of 
the computer or to the directory contents where you run the 
program or (may be) to the temporary files created by SoX or 
to the drive where you run the program (not in the RAM, or may 
be in it) then your voice can be stolen and / or used 
inappropriately. Use all possible precautions and measures to 
avoid the situation. 

Be aware also that the given by the program technology (or 
documentation for it in any form) of the voice processing can 
be improved so there is NO guarantees that the given technology 
or its successors cannot be used in violating your voice identity 
to produce from some voice records available the voice for the 
inappropriate usage. So, better is to proove your identity not 
only with the solely voice itself but with some additional 
independent sources and measures. 

The author of the program accordingly to the LICENSE (MIT) does not 
response for any possible issues, but by this notification tries to 
intent you to be aware of some possible issues.
