From: Susmita/Rajib <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: How to use a better TTS, such as Pico? Cc: Debian Accessibility Team <[email protected]> Dear Sirs, I can't thank you enough for including the svox package with Debian GNu-Linux Wheezy which I use currently. You have empowered us greatly by porting SVOX to Debian. I have installed the necessary package, libttspico0, and can have pico2wave read from CLI, for instance: pico2wave -w lookdave.wav "Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this." && aplay lookdave.wav I can also use the following script (attached) for a very small file: ./speak.sh "$(cat hello.txt)" But I can't alter pico2wave -'s sampling rate to 48000. It only samples at 16000Hz. I tried many variations, but failed, as pico2wave -'s man page doesn't inform much. Could you suggest any options, Sir? I would be indebted. For my day to day work Debian Wheezy is more than sufficient. So I don't want to upgrade to Debian Sid. I post my queries and observations in the Debian forum with the same username as my email. I also post in Knoppix forum as rajibando. Regards, Rajib B FOSS enthusiast.

But anyway, I shall continue to try. I shall seek help from the Debian team. I am sure they would be able to help.
