text2wave Voices Improvements?
I currently have an AGI that calls the Festival text2wave app to write
a wav file that my dialplan plays into a call with the Background()
command. But the voice sounds terrible: like SAM, the 1980s 6502 voice
synthesizer. I tried to slow it down by calling (text2wav -eval
"(Parameter.set 'Duration_Stretch 1.4)" -scale 2.0 [...]), but it still
sounds like it's talking while sucking down a strawful of spaghetti. How
do I install a different voice, to speak basically simple emails? I'm
(APT) installing on Debian 3.1/Sarge, Asterisk 1.4.x .
Also, is there a way to call Background or some...
