Hi
Well I'm trying to get some TTS ready for gnome-speech and gnopernicus. I
followed the instructions I found on the web, see below and festival will talk
if I run /usr/src/festival/bin/festival however, I'm not sure how I should
complete the installation. Should I simply copy the contents of the festival
bin/ and lib/ to /usr/bin and lib respectively? What would be a clean and tidy
way of installing festival on this computer at home and is likely that I'm the
only person using it. But as I said, the purpose is to let gnopernicus use
festival.
To install Festival you will need to download the following source packages
from the Festival download
page:
* festival-1.95-beta.tar.gz -- The core festival package
* speech_tools-1.2.95-beta.tar.gz -- The Edinburgh Speech tools library
* festlex_OALD.tar.gz -- The lexicon distribution
* festlex_POSLEX.tar.gz -- The lexicon distribution
* festvox_rablpc16k.tar.gz -- The speech database
You will find several other packages available for download at the Web site,
but you won't need them unless
you wish to add support for more voices to the basic TTS system.
Having downloaded all the above packages, log in as root, change to the
directory where you downloaded the
packages, and issue the command tar --xvzf package_name to unpack them.
After the unpacking, your current
directory will contain the subdirectories speech_tools/ and festival/.
Next, you need to compile the source files. Change to the speech_tools
directory and issue the commands:
./configure
make
Then change to the festival directory and issue the same commands.
That's it! The Festival Speech Synthesis System is now installed on your
Linux box.
