similar to: Transmitting synthetic speech using Speex?

Hi Reed, I've been using Speex to transmit TTS for years. It works very well with no tweaking. I use Microsoft TTS ("Microsoft Mike") with Speex at 16kHz wideband and VBR quality 6. Sometimes I forget that the sound is even coming from another computer and being compressed+decompressed. If anything, TTS seems easier for Speex to deal with than real voice. But I don't

Thanks for the info Tom! Probably narrowband is hurting me, but my system is currently built on that. I want to try to get acceptable performance from narrowband if possible before trying

I used Microsoft text to speech with speex. It sounded reasonably well. I didn't experiment with various quality settings (8KHz, default quality). I was capturing audio from a sound card, not the direct wave data from the TTS engine. .a -----Original Message----- From: speex-dev-bounces@xiph.org [mailto:speex-dev-bounces@xiph.org] On Behalf Of Reed Hedges Sent: Friday, May 26, 2006 7:23 AM

Hello users, Actually i wanted to implement Text-To-Speech engine from cepstral voice using swift application i tried the documentation of doing this and i was unsuccessful at doing this work with asterisk can anybody please help me out finding the solution to installation thanks in advacnce srinivas Antarvedi -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi all, I hope that I'm not breaking protocol too much by posting a message in this group about a problem that I'm having with an Asterisk Business Edition installation, but the reason that I'm posting here is because the problem that I'm having isn't really with the Business Edition, it is with the Cepstral text to speech product that I'm using with it, and also because

Hi all, i'm trying to integrate cepstral and asterisk, and i have a problem i'd appreciate any help with (i know it's a bit tangential, but i figure this is the place with the most knowledge of app_swift and asterisk). I've installed swift from cepstral.com with alison's voice, and it works fine, from the command line i can do swift "hello there" -o test.wav and then

Hello all, I am trying to get cepstral to work with Asterisk for Text to Speech purposes. I got Asterisk to recompile with cepstral and after doing *CLI> show cepstral female voices Available Cepstral voices: Name Gender Age Language Sample Rate License ========== ========= ===== ==================== ============= ============ Amy female 30

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

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 (

Hey everyone, I was frustrated with the existing app_cepstral/app_swift TTS modules I've found on the net, so I hacked up my own. It's been working really well for me so I thought I'd share. In developing this, I wanted to avoid: * the startup delay incurred writing TTS output to a temp file then playing it back * gluing cepstral/swift to the asterisk module in a way that fubard

Greetings, I've recently upgraded from Asterisk 1.2 to 1.4. I've been searching for a solution, but am also trying the easy way at the same time. I've now got David of Cepstral now speaking using app_swift from http://www.mezzo.net/asterisk/app_swift.html . The problem is, he sounds way worse than he did when it was asterisk version 1.2. I'm seriously considering either

Hello I have installed cepstral .... It works woderfull using an agi script but ..... when i try to use Swift("say this") is Dial plan ....

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

Hi, I'm using Cepstral as a TTS Engine for Asterisk with Swift application. It works fine when I have just 1 voice installed. Now I have 2 voices in the same language installed but I can't seem to find the way to select which voice to use in Swift's application in Asterisk. Does anyone know?? Thank you, Pim

That all makes sense. I don't think the name "synthetic" is all that intuitive, though. Enum attributes are pretty cheap, maybe we should try to use a name closer to what we're trying to implement? For example, we could add a new "coroutine_foo" attribute for every coroutine style we implement. We would have analysis helper functions to answer questions like "is

Hi, I have tried installing app_swift on both mac os x and ubuntu now and am getting the same error. I must be missing something, as I have tried multiple versions and everytime do sudo make install i get: if !

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

Hi Shakeel, I had the same problem building app_swift (1.6..) myself and searched the web far-and-wide for a solution. I eventually contacted Darren Sessions -- who was maintaining that plug-in -- about a month ago. He was involved in another project and said he might be able get to it after a few weeks. But, since then, his website http://www.darrensessions.com/ has gone out of comission. I
