similar to: Festival and Asterisk - different voices? => SOLVED!

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

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

Hi, I'm banging my head with Perl AGI script to produce wav file to be streamed with Festival's text2wave utility. I have two lines of code: ------------------------------------ system('echo "' . $text . '" | text2wave -scale 1.5 -F 8000 -o ' . $filename . ' - '); system('echo "' . $text . '" | text2wave -eval

Hello. I couldn't see anything in festival.conf. The voice is currently male, and robotic. How do I change this ? Regards...Martin

I have loaded festival-1.4.3 patched with the 1.4.3.diff file. Festival source is in /usr/src/festival dir. When I try to use it I get this from asterisk: -- Executing Answer("SIP/chad-57a4", "") in new stack -- Executing Festival("SIP/chad-57a4", ""I am talking"") in new stack == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/festival.conf': Found

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 have used this Asterisk at Home for a while now, 2 years. Only recently, I am trying Festival and on invoking festival --server I get these errors : /usr/share/festival/bin/festival: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `CXXABI_1.2' not found (required by /usr/share/festival/bin/festival) /usr/share/festival/bin/festival: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `GLIBCPP_3.2' not found (required by

Dear folks, Next week will be the famous Cambridge Beer Festival, and since beer has everything to do with compilers, we'll hold the the next LLVM Social there, trying to find the blood alcohol concentration of 0.1337% to achieve super-human programming abilities. http://www.cambridgebeerfestival.com/viewnode.php?id=3 Some of use will be there all week, or so I heard, but most of us will be

Hi, While compiling destival 1.4.2 on redhat 8.0 i got the final error ... Making in directory intonation/tilt ... Making in directory ./lib ...

I started using Festival for the first time today and am having a problem with zombies left behind after every time that it speaks. I'm using Festival 1.4.3 with today's CVS of Asterisk. Everything seems to work. The only obvious problem is that a defunct process is left behind every call to Festival. Is this a known problem? Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Ok I have festival on RH8. It speaks fast and you can't understand it. I don't have any FXO cards in this box yet. Can someone shed some light on this? Thanks, Brian

Anyone have any luck setting up festival 1.4.3? Can someone share some input. bkw

I have posted a link to the tarball of my rather simple AGI script that allows a user to input a Zip Code (USA only) via DTMF and have the current weather conditions spoken to them. This is the first release and I'm sure it will have some bugs. It requires a few modules from CPAN and the asterisk-perl AGI interface. It's a very small script. Available at

I tried running the festival app today with little success. I have a working festival installation that does TTS to the linux sound output perfectly. With * it just produces a sort of hissing sound. The length of hissing is proportional to the length of text string that it is given to speak. Since I'm running on a PPC system I fear the dreaded endian problem is to blame and that

I've searched through the lists, but can't seem to find a reference to someone that said they had a time and temperature application for *. Voip-info wiki would be a good place for it as a Festival example!!! Can someone remind me where it's at? TIA. Tim Thompson

Hi I have been playing around with asterisk for a few days now. I have asterisk running with a single x100p card and a couple of x-lite "extensions". Here's where I am at: I can make calls between the extensions. Voice mail seems to work OK. I can use the x100p card to dial out to the PSTN over the analogue interface and receive calls fine. I have my FWD account hooked up as well

I'm finding I can't run two festival commands in the same connection. Given the following: exten => 555,1,Answer exten => 555,2,Wait(1) exten => 555,3,Festival(mary had a little lamb) exten => 555,4,Wait(1) exten => 555,5,Festival(she also had a duck) exten => 555,6,Hangup Calling 555 gets the first line, then I get the error: May 20 17:59:16 WARNING[1301883824]:

Hi I'm running a bright shiny new asterisk installation, and have discovered a problem with the festival application - when it plays back the generated sound, it skips the start. If, on the other hand, it has caching turned on, then when it plays the cached sound, it doesn't skip the first word or two. I assume that this has something to do with the time taken to generate the speech -
