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

Hello, I am having a Mac 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard). I have compiled and built Asterisk 1.6.2.9 and Festival 2.0.95:beta on my machine. Asterisk is working fine with SIP channels without Festival. I have written following context in extension.conf: [connect-to-me] exten => s,1,Answer Exten => s,n,SayDigits(?1?) exten => s,n,Festival(hello john) exten => s,n,Hangup I use call files to

Asterisk v1.0 is running on RH 9. I installed festival RPM (festival-1.4.2-16.i386.rpm) and edited the festival.scm file to add: (define (tts_textasterisk string mode) "(tts_textasterisk STRING MODE) Apply tts to STRING. This function is specifically designed for use in server mode so a single function call may synthesize the string. This function name may be added to the server safe

Hi all, I'm writing a script to do some basic text analysis in R. Let's assume I have a data frame named data which contains a column named 'utt' which contains strings. Is there a straightforward way to achieve something like this: data$ContainsThe <- ifelse(startsWith(data$Utt,"the"),"y","n") or data$ContainsThe <-

I'm using glmmPQL, and I still have a few problems with it. In addition to the issue reported earlier, I'm getting the following error and I was wondering if there's something I can do about it. Error in logLik.reStruct(object, conLin) : Na/NaN/Inf in foreign function call (arg 3) ... Warnings: 1: Singular precistion matrix in level -1, block 4 (...) 4: "" The

Hi, I'm having trouble with glmmPQL from the MASS package. I'm trying to fit a model with a binary response variable, two fixed and two random variables (nested), with a sample of about 200,000 data points. Unfortunately, I'm getting an error message that is difficult to understand without knowing the internals of the glmmPQL function. > model <- glmmPQL(primed ~

I'm using app_festival to speak some text to callers. I'm having two problems with this. The first is with IAX calls (I've not tried others) the first few seconds of the speech is garbled. The second problem I'm having is the the volume of the speech IS VERY LOUD. I tried putting the following in the siteinit.scm but it didn't seem to make any difference. (set!

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...

Just curious to know if anyone uses Festival with * and whether or not you've got a different voice than the default. I'm looking at doing a commercial application but my boss doesn't want to shell out the $ before we do some real world testing of * and Festival. Specifically, I'm looking for a female voice, preferably US English. Any suggestions? Thanks, MC

I've got a problem with "mcmcsamp" used with glmer objects produced with "lmer" from the lme4 package. When calling mcmcsamp, I get the error Error in if (var(y) == 0) { : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed This does not occur with all models, but I can't find anything wrong with the dataset. If the error is in my data, can someone tell me what I am looking

Hi, I?m trying to get app_festival to work. I got the source from the Debian woody package of festival-1.4.2 and applied the patch that came with * sources it applied fine; then I made the debian package and installed it.

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

Hello, I have Asterisk running on a RH9 box; Everything seems to be working as it should, except for Festival. Every time that Festival is called from Asterisk, Asterisk silently shuts down. Festival doesn't give any error indication and Asterisk just plain dies without a peep. Festival was installed per the Wiki, using source and patched with festival-1.4.3-diff; it works fine at the

R-users & helpers: I am using Amelia, mitools and cmprsk to fit cumulative incidence curves to multiply imputed datasets. The error message that I get "Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : invalid 'envir' argument" occurs when I try to fit models to the 50 imputed datasets using the "with.imputationList" function of mitools. The problem seems to occur

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. To get the Festival to compile I had to add the patch described in the comments. Once added, Festival and the Speech tools compiled without error. How ever, when ever I try to call the test extension, I get a busy

I'm having trouble getting festival to work with asterisk. We are running debian (sarge) and got asterisk from CVS. Here's what I'm using as far as festival goes.

Speech tools

Hey folks, So I'm trying to get Festival() working on 1.2.17. I'm trying to use app_festival: Here's the show dialplan output from that extension: '3378' => 1. Answer() [pbx_config] 2. Festival(Hello Asterisk caller. How is your day?) [pbx_config] 3. Playback(vm-goodbye) [pbx_config] 4. Hangup()

After upgrading to R 2.6.0, I'm having trouble running lmer: model <- lmer(primed ~ log(dist.time)*role + 1|target.utt, data=data.utts) Error in UseMethod("as.logical") : no applicable method for "as.logical" So I thought I'd upgrade lme4 to the latest version, but unfortunately the compilation fails - perhaps there's a missing #include: R CMD INSTALL

I followed the directions I found in the list to a tee http://www.marko.net/asterisk/archives/0209/0389.html The server starts fine, but when I call the festival extension it gives me an OID error variable tts_textasterisk I have RH7.3 festival 1.4.2 speech_tools 1.2.2 patched it with the festival-1.4.2.diff located in the /usr/src/asterisk/ folder .
