Basic Japanese Grammar With Yoda “Do or do not. There is no try.” - Yoda “Hrrrmm. Learn Japanese, you will,” says Yoda to Luke. “But I want to learn the ways of the force,” Luke whines back. Maybe you don’t remember that particular scene, but chances are you’ve seen Star Wars and its little green Jedi dude, Yoda.

- Here are 50 wise Yoda quotes to keep you on the light side of the Force. So great life is, to finish it no way there is. The more you would enter into it, the vaster would be the possibilities that open their doors. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. Your path you must decide. Judge me by my size, do you?
- Text to Speech is a feature of Android platform that can be used to “read” the words and make the app talking, or more in detail to synthesize text. This post covers how to implement TTS in Android and how to control some interesting properties of the speech engine.
- Translate to Yodish, you can. In 2015 Enspiral Dev Academy students noticed the Yoda Speak API wasn't working so well. I thought to myself, 'People need reliable translations to the Yodish!'

Maybe you don’t remember that particular scene, but chances are you’ve seen Star Wars and its little green Jedi dude, Yoda. Did you know that George Lucas (director / creator of Star Wars) was a big fan of Japanese film (and got the inspiration for Star Wars from Japanese director Akira Kurosawa’s “The Hidden Fortress?”). To show his Japan-love, he made Yoda speak kind of… strangely. But did you know that the way Yoda speaks mimics very basic Japanese grammar? It’s great for you, though, since we’re going to use it to make learning Japanese grammar so much easier for you English speakers out there.
In this chapter we’ll start learning Japanese grammar in its most simple form. For most non-Japanese speakers, Japanese grammar is a bit of a challenge. Everything is, how should we say… flip flopped. Hopefully you have seen Star Wars and know how Yoda speaks. We’re going to mimic that (er… minus the grumbly voice). When it comes to basic Japanese grammar, Yoda is a perfect parallel of how everything works, at least in the beginning. When things get a little more complicated, though, we’ll have to ditch our little green friend for better things, but he’ll be a great foundation to work off of, plus you can skip a lot of the confusing issues that most Japanese learners end up going through. See, we make your life easier here!

This is a simple online tool to convert text into an audio clip of Stephen Hawking's voice. It's based on the eSpeak library which was developed by Jonathan Duddington in 1995, and which has since gone through many updates. Hawking's voice was based of a similar sounding synthesiser from the 1980s, but has also gone through upgrades throughout the years.
This Stephen Hawking voice generator uses the JavaScript port of the eSpeak library which was done by @kripken - many thanks to him! It allows you to generate the robotic audio and then play it and download it as a WAV file.
eSpeak uses 'formant synthesis' rather than piecing together pre-recorded clips. This generally allows for a much more fine-grained control over the produced audio, but older versions of formant speech synthesis such as this tend to have a very robotic, monotonic feel. Conversely, the systems that use pre-recorded clips tend to not be monotonic, but instead have unusual and incorrect inflections on words, or whole sentences.
Since he lost his ability to speak in the late 1970s to early 1980s, Stephen Hawking's text to speech's is easily recognisable as one of these formant synthesis tts systems.

This system produces audio clips in the WAV format, but if there is enough demand I may be able to produce an MP3 download link too.
How To Do Yoda Text To Speech Voices
It's probably best to try inputting a small amount of text first, and then increasing it to see how much your computer can handle. The computation time may be quite big for large bodies of text.
I used to have a lot of fun creating funny text to speech phases using Microsoft Sam, so I hope this brings that same experience to others via the medium of this little online tool. If you come across any fun phrases, paste them in the comments section below! I'd also love to hear what you're using this for. Thanks for using my app! :)
