try adding a set of parens like this: festivalcommand=((voice_don_diphone)(tts_textasterisk "%s"'file)(quit))\n <SNIP> > natural sounding voice? So far the best I've found were from here: > http://hts.ics.nitech.ac.jp/download.html Have you seen "festivox"? It's a tool for building voices The key to making festival sound natural is to get the timming and entonation right. The astrisk app uses festivels "demo" test to speech application which is just that a quick dirty demo. Have you seen the markup language on the CMU site? http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~awb/festival_demos/sable.html "Sable" can do MUCH better then the simple tts application. ===== Chris Albertson Home: 310-376-1029 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: 310-990-7550 Office: 310-336-5189 [EMAIL PROTECTED] KG6OMK __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
