similar to: Problem on getting wav file out of Festival-text2wave utility ?

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

Hi I have installed Festival on the same box as asterisk and followed the instructions to integrate it with asterisk. Festival seems to work fine on its own performing text to speech from the command line or via a file. Asterisk answers the call but there is no speech. I can see no errors in the Festival log file The asterisk console shows --Executing Answer("SIP/81801-c091",

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

FYI, I found a workaround with this. Festival w/ A@H comes with 4 voices. Here's a snippet from the siteinit.scm file: ;(set! voice_default 'voice_cmu_us_bdl_arctic_hts) (set! voice_default 'voice_cmu_us_slt_arctic_hts) ;(set! voice_default 'voice_cmu_us_jmk_arctic_hts) ;(set! voice_default 'voice_cmu_us_awb_arctic_hts) The default is to have the first line uncommented and

Hi, I created a script named example2.sh which goal is read some text from my HP Service Desk using an application in java and send this text to the text2wave application for TTS. example2.sh java -Xbatch Example10 | text2wave -f 8000 -o /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/my-sd.wav When I execute the script in prompt, everything is ok, but when I use the system() command in my extensions.conf it isn?t

Does the System() dialplan application have a limit on how long it can run? Either a time limit, or server load limit? I'm trying to pipe the output of Sphinx2 into Text2Wave, but Asterisk just runs by it to the next extension priority, with no errors. If I run the same command via the system shell, all is good, though it does take a few seconds, probably about 5 seconds to run. Yes,

This script was developed by Mark Johnson. All I did (Dean Collins) was type up the instructions and make it easy to understand. This Script will allow you to dial and extension number on your Asterisk@home V0.6 or later pabx and have it read you the weather for your city How it does this is; 1/ When you dial your extension it causes the weather.agi script to run 2/ This makes the program

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

Hi, I am need of "voice to text" converter for one of my project. I need to use it on Linux OS. I got "text2wave" converter but didnt find any "wave2text" equivalent. Then I saw "speexenc" and "speexdec" on linux. It basically does encoding and decoding the the WAV file. Thus I wanted to know if I can use these utilities to convert a WAV file

I am using asterisk-1.2.1-15 and want to use it to replace my normal PBX with it. For creating IVR menus i tried festival, the text which was passed into it was said, but the problem was at stating of every line a "tick" sound comes.

Hi Keith, Thanks a lot for your reply. Actually I am trying to build an application in linux & C for converting a voice file(that is WAV) to a text message. This is required for one of our voice project. So just wanted to know if there is any existing application already there in linux to do that. Otherwise I have to write my own. Now to right my own "wav to text" converter I
