similar to: Cepstral

I'm about to begin working on an ivr project to do database backed scheduling. I would like to use text to speech in some places. What are the differences in using festival vs. Cepstral? How are they similar, how are they different? Is one really better than the other? How and Why? Thanks, Eric -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Was hoping someone could point me in the right direction for getting the linux version of cepstral voices working with Asterisk. The cepstral site states that the voices work with asterisk, but I haven't been able to find anything with google or in the handbook on this. Thanks in advance, Bruce

hi List, i've been trying to get festival work on my 1.4.4 *box for the last 3days, i've used the tutorial on this page http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Festival+installation with exactly the same line in my dialplan just to make a test now when i try to call( dial 555 ) from my softphone i get this message on festival server debugger: server Tue May 8 11:36:53 2007 : Festival

what's the easiest way of using cepstral voices with asterisk ? On their website, in the ssml page (http://www.cepstral.com/cgi-bin/support?page=ssml), they say "Asterisk PBX SSML can be used with Cepstral voices in Asterisk by simply embedding the markup into the input text." what input text ? To what application ? Thanks ! Julian

We are having some major problems with app_swift since we went live. It is regularly segfaulting. I don't know if this is my fault or not, but here's the story: Installed the cepstral voices (at the time, 4.0) on our test system (2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp) and later added some extra voices (now 4.2). All worked fine - we stress tested (20+ simultaneous calls). Move to live (

I just read about the partnership but was wondering what is actually going to happen? Is asterisk going to be bundled with cepstral voices for free :)? Or whats the deal?

I'm using trixbox and the asterisk agi. I downloaded a cepstral voice and worked with it until I got the code to do what I wanted. I then registered the voice today to get rid of the 'this voice is not yet registered", stuff yet it still does that. Any ideas on how to fix this? It told me my info was valid. Thanks! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

Hi, Has anybody seen a non commercial, or freeware, or GPL, or even CHEAP... POP/IMAP to Text-to-speech? I have a working version for POP3 using festival. It DOES work... it even cleans the email contents to get the actual content. It works great with Outlook emails and similar, and skips non multipart/alternative (that would be mainly SPAM, where the email is just

Can someone point me to a page about writing a text file to call an external number and play a TTS with cepstral? I know it includes the creation of a .call file but beyond that im a bit lost.

Hi All, We just bought a sip based PA setup here with the intention of hooking it into our existing asterisk (1.4) setup. It works as expected when I dial it's extension, but I want to have system generated speech played based on some action (using cepstral, which is already installed and working). My first thought was to DIAL to the extension, and then have cepstral play the audio. The

Hello, I recently purchased the Cepstral 6 text-to-speech engine (swift), and am now wondering if I should have bought something else. I would like to use Cepstral text to speech like some people use the Festival() or Flite() applications. For example, when I do a "core show application flite" at the CLI, flite is available to me: localhost*CLI> core show application flite

Does anyone have any idea on how to force cepstral to convert a number to speech ? I have noticed that sometimes it speaks the number correctly, and at others it doesn't. 1) 787 is pronounced 7-8-7 2) 123 is pronounced one-hundred and twenty-three. 1) is wrong for what i need, 2) is perfect. Is there anyway of forcing numbers to be pronounced as 2) ? I've tried looking at the ssml

Hello list, I have been using Cepstral's 8KHz voices for my text-to-speech service for some time now, and have been noticing that the voice quality is really poor, doesn't matter what phrase I give it to convert. None of the other 8KHz voices I have ever used were this bad. It doesn't seem good enough system to be used in a commercial system. Is there any better quality text-to-voice

I downloaded Cepstral to my Asterisk Box. I did the install and let it install to /opt/swift. I brought down a new CVS-HEAD as of today 10/1. I added APPS+=app_cepstral.so into the Makefile in /usr/src/asterisk/apps/Makefile Like: # Obsolete things... # #APPS+=app_sql_postgres.so #APPS+=app_sql_odbc.so APPS+=app_cepstral.so # I did this piece but wasn't sure exactly what part of the

Some of you may know me as ManxPower from #Asterisk at irc.freenode.,net I've posted my demp weather report Asterisk AGI script at http://www.fnords.org/~eric/asterisk/downloads/ I have no affiliation with Cepstral. Below is the README: Contact: Eric Wieling <eric@fnords.org> If you want a demo of this AGI script you may call via IAXtel 1-700-923-3645 extension 2101. Option 23 is

I'm expirimenting with Cepstral via swift.agi. It loads w/ no problem, but there is a fairly long separation between words -- almost as if it is processing one word at a time, rather than stringing a phrase together. When I run cepstral with a similar script, but not through an actual call from asterisk the separation between words is short and natural. I'd really appreciate

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a license for Allison-8kHz and two concurrent port licenses that I purchased from Cepstral at the end of last year. I just got around to installing to my * 1.6.0.10 machine. I've decided that the best way for me to integrate the two would be res_cepstral, which I downloaded and installed. Everything is fine, except the register program,

Hi All, Recent discussions on app_cepstral on the list have led me to believe there's some issues with Asterisk 1.4 I set about creating a small howto for people to get cepstral, with app_swift working.
