Hi,
I am currently playing around with speech synthesis and installed
mbrola, speechd and festival.
It works so far: I am getting the default english voice, which tells
me what time it is.
Then I was trying to follow some docs from the internet to
install/activate different voices...no go.
Even the simplest case -- the uncommenting of a prepared line --
in the /etc/festival/siteinit.scm from
;; If you want a voice different from the system installed default
;; uncomment the following line and change the name to the voice you
;; want
;; (set! voice_default 'voice_cmu_us_awb_arctic_hts)
to
;; If you want a voice different from the system installed default
;; uncomment the following line and change the name to the voice you
;; want
(set! voice_default 'voice_cmu_us_awb_arctic_hts)
leads to an error message:
SIOD ERROR: unbound variable : cmu_us_slt_arctic_hts
Voive not installed?
/usr/share/festival/voices/us/cmu_us_slt_arctic_hts
No...it is there...
Unfortunately I am no lisp-man... ;)
I restarted festival/speechd ... no success ... same error.
May be I miss some very fundamental thing here...but...
What do I have to do, to get this beast talking to me ?
Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
mcc
