Hey All, Thought I'd take a bash at trying to get Festival to work here on my lab system with the aim of using it to create our IVR menu prompts. I've spent most of the afternoon searching through the Wiki, the Festival website and Google and I've got a couple of questions. First one is that the 'Asterisk+festival+installation' page on the Wiki mentions the RedHat 9 RPMs

I am trying to use festival (latest version 1.4.3) I have downloaded all the files needed and patched it with the provided diff. festival does work and does tts fine. but when I call Festival either from an extention or an AGI script, I get this in my asterisk messages log, but no sound on the channels (H323 or SIP) - they (the clients) just say "trying" and then hangup...

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

New to asterisk so please be gentle. I'm guessing I'm among a number of recent additions to the list after the article in Linux Mag. I gotta say I'm *very* intersted in the project and will be doing lots of reading shortly. A couble quick questions first... How suitable is Asterisk for use as an IVR providing callers with textual data out of a database? Can it be combined easily

I'm about to download Festival source, apply the astrisk diff's, and initiate basic testing. Thoughts are to download v1.4.3 (latest per the fesitval website. If anyone has an existing how-to, install notes, tips, or any suggestions I'd greatly appreciate it. Direct email is fine if you'd rather not post them. Thanks, Rich radamson@routers.com

Interestingly enough I had this same problem today.... 1. I created the directory and permissions for the directory " /var/lib/asterisk/festivalcache/ " (per the comment in the festival.conf file) 2. I had to comment out some things in the festival.conf file: the "host" line, the "port" line, and the "festivalcommand" line. I have also noticed the

I just wanted to try out Festival, but I can't get it patched. I'm thinking that there is something missing from the steps listed at http://www.marko.net/asterisk/archives/0209/0389.html. >>tar xvzf festival-1.4.2-release.tar.gz >>patch -p0 </usr/src/asterisk-ng/festival-1.4.2-diff >> (or wherever the patch is located) When I run the patch command, I get the

Asterisk v1.0 is running on RH 9.

Hello, I'm in the process of trying to get Festival to work with Asterisk. I followed the install process at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+festival+installation.
