The aim of the Grassroot Wavelengths project is to pilot solutions for participatory innovation in the domain of media pluralism, working to: lower the barriers to start and sustain a community radio station, create regional and European-wide networks of stations that can pool community-level resources and co-innovate collaborative media services, and increase the permeability and impact of those stations through a combination of existing digital and nondigital technologies.
Dr Aylett made a significant contribution to the proposal for this Horizon H2020 grant. He was the PI for the project for CereProc. Outputs from CereProc included developing an open-source DNN-based TTS voice for Romanian, along with resources for localized Irish Gaelic and Portuguese TTS voices. A commercial Irish TTS voice was also released by CereProc.
