Re: [orca-list] Festival



Congratulations!   You got farther than I got.  I got speech working
all right but I never did get sound icons to work and mine worked
through gnome-speech and not speech dispatcher.  Try as I might, I was
never quite able to get speech dispatcher to see Festival so that Orca
presented it as an option in the available speech synthesizers.  I
certainly never made it as far as sound icons.  Glad it's working well
for you and you seem to like it.

Krishnakant:  Festival's voice texture and quality depends on which
voice you have installed.  The 8kbps voices are kind of robotic with a
humanesque character to them, the 16kbps are noticeably more human
sounding and, lastly the 22kbps are high quality human-sounding voices
that can go toe to toe with some of the commercial ones I've used.  If
you use the mbrola voices, their quality is quite nice and
human-sounding as well.

Hey everyone,

I got festival working in vinux 3.2 with speech-dispatcher and pulse
audio, even the sound icons are working...

only thing I had to do was follow previous instructions plus install
speech-dispatcher-festival and get rid of the lines in /etc/festival.scm
about czech
it's surprisingly responsive!

Hello, Boris,

I prepared instructions for people who wanted to try Festival out a
couple of years ago.  They are very strongly geared towards users of
Vinux but, I think they can be adapted to a wider audience.  I just
lack the time and motivation to do so at present.  I'm attaching a
copy of this file written in html in case you would care to use some
of its content to flesh out the guide you all have written which does
a nice job of addressing the more technical points.

Thanks.
