Yuhalu Hmong Text To Speech Software
Yuhalu is a Hmong Text-To-Speech (TTS) program created to support the Hmong community, educators, learners, and anyone who needs reliable Hmong language technologies.
It is built from the ground up using custom code, a hand-recorded audio corpus, advanced signal processing, and a large collection of supporting tools for audio, video, and language tasks.
Yuhalu supports multiple inline commands such as speed, pitch, volume, echo, stretch, and more. It is written in Java and designed to run across different operating systems.
Yuhalu may be redistributed freely for non-commercial purposes. No fee may be charged for sharing or distributing this software.
Yuhalu is designed to help users:
- Learn the Hmong RPA written language with clear audio and visuals
- Create and teach custom lessons and presentations
- Listen to the Hmong Bible or other texts with synchronized audio
- Present pictures, slides, and read-along materials
- Convert text to spoken Hmong or English using thousands of audio samples
- Use multimedia tools such as audio recording, video editing, and screen capture
- Perform language analysis, dictionary lookup, and text normalization
Yuhalu continues to evolve, with new features added regularly to improve
accuracy, performance, and usability.
Thank you for supporting this project.
