Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I am currently playing around with speech synthesis and installed |
| 4 |
mbrola, speechd and festival. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
It works so far: I am getting the default english voice, which tells |
| 7 |
me what time it is. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Then I was trying to follow some docs from the internet to |
| 10 |
install/activate different voices...no go. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Even the simplest case -- the uncommenting of a prepared line -- |
| 13 |
in the /etc/festival/siteinit.scm from |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
;; If you want a voice different from the system installed default |
| 17 |
;; uncomment the following line and change the name to the voice you |
| 18 |
;; want |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
;; (set! voice_default 'voice_cmu_us_awb_arctic_hts) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
to |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
;; If you want a voice different from the system installed default |
| 26 |
;; uncomment the following line and change the name to the voice you |
| 27 |
;; want |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
(set! voice_default 'voice_cmu_us_awb_arctic_hts) |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
leads to an error message: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
SIOD ERROR: unbound variable : cmu_us_slt_arctic_hts |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Voive not installed? |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
/usr/share/festival/voices/us/cmu_us_slt_arctic_hts |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
No...it is there... |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Unfortunately I am no lisp-man... ;) |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
I restarted festival/speechd ... no success ... same error. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
May be I miss some very fundamental thing here...but... |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
What do I have to do, to get this beast talking to me ? |
