   Hi,   
   Is there any tools available to synthesize speech from a recorded   
   voice from a "random" set (not specific prompts)?  I have seen many   
   tools to pull speech characteristics from recorded speech - and   
   likewise many synthesizers (klaat, praat, festival, mbrolia, etc) but   
   nothing to bridge the gap.   
      
   I realize this is an area that's difficult to model - I have a few   
   ideas on possible approaches - but would like to see if anybody's   
   actively working on this.   
      
   Many thanks!   
   Jonathan
