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 you can
execute mmsyn7h program to produce some records with your 
newly created "voice". During the execution of the last one
you can choose whether to remove (clean) 
all the created sound files in the current directory for 
security reasons. If the programs terminate by interruption (or 
generally) it is a good practice to remove the current 
directory sound files manually.

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

"The possession of great power necessarily implies great responsibility."

                                            (William Lamb)

The program mmsyn7ukr produces the "voice" represented as an ordered 
set of sounds each of which corresponds (represents) one of the 
Ukrainian sounds so that using them together by mmsyn7h program 
(https://hackage.haskell.org/package/mmsyn7h) can be a background 
for sound synthesis. If you pronounce sounds as the appropriate 
Ukrainian ones, close to proper Ukrainian speech with your own 
voice. This program 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 already installed in the system to produce the 
needed sounds and then you can pronounce some Ukrainian text 
with your recorded "voice" using mmsyn7h program. In-between 
you can do some additional processing as you need. Moreover, 
you can substitute whatever sounds you like (consider being 
sensible) instead of your own 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 itself creates security issues and concerns. So, 
please, do NOT give access to such records to anybody else 
except you.

In such a case, the program is for personal usage of every 
user ONLY!

Being given as an advice in such a case, run the program 
in the empty directory with the current user permissions to write, 
read and search and provide some proofs and evidence that nobody else 
can even read the files in the directory. May be, it is better 
to execute the program being in the directory located in the RAM, 
then consequently 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 available voice records the voice for the 
inappropriate usage. Therefore, 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.
