similar to: How do you change the festival voice

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.

Hello-- In the interests of playing around and wasting time, I've installed the latest version of the Festival stuff, 1.95beta. And, in the interests of future Asterisk-Festival connectivity, I applied the 1.4.3 patch to put in the asterisk related routines. I did it by hand, but, it looks like the patch will apply with no comment. Asterisk works with the new server... BUT the speed of

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

Many of you are familiar with how lousy Festival sounds. AT&T has a product, NaturalVoices, that sounds much better. There are male & female voice fonts for US/UK/Indian English, French, Spanish, and German. I am considering offering a linux-based text-to-speech engine based on the NaturalVoices runtime. An asterisk module would also be provided, making it easy to add natural sounding

I have loaded festival-1.4.3 patched with the 1.4.3.diff file. Festival source is in /usr/src/festival dir.

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.

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

Hello All, I installed Asterisk@home with no problems whatsoever. All features so far work great. However, I have been trying to setup the festivval weather AGI script and it won't work. I see the script fire off in the CLI and it completes with no errors. However, I never hear anything on the extension. Does anyone know if there is something undocumented that I should have done? Thanks,
