RE: [Flightgear-devel] Re: [PATCH][RFC] speech synthesis with festival
I wrote I'm working at getting Festival to compile under Cygwin. They claim that it does, and, while it's very long-winded, it's looking good so far ... Is that pronounced WINE-D or WIN-D? Nah - that's as in it doesn't work - yet :-( After some trouble and lots of help from Melchior, we got Festival to work under Cygwin last night. Here's what we found, in case any other Cygwin user wants to try. Festival compiles under Cygwin right out of the box - just follow the instructions. The instructions invite you to make test to check your installation. This came up with a couple of errors, which I couldn't find a way to fix, but don't seem affect the operation of Festival, so I ignored them. From the command line, Festival does what it says it does. Melchior's instructions need amending: Just for the record, this all works for Cygwin: 1) apply the attached patch basedir.diff in your fgfs dir 2) copy these two files to src/Sound/: http://members.aon.at/mfranz/voice.cxx [2.5 kB] http://members.aon.at/mfranz/voice.hxx [2 kB] 3) configure make I needed ./autogen.sh, ./configure, make install as you would expect in Cygwin. Cygwin accepts '$ nice festival --server ' but this doesn't work with FG. Perhaps the 'nice' settings need adjustment. No matter, '$ festival --server' or '$ festival --server ' both work just fine. I couldn't find a way to stop the festival server started in background with the '' command in Cygwin, but Windows Task Manager does the trick. You need --prop:/sim/presets/voice/host=localhost. I added it to my system.fgfsrc file. So after a little effort, Festival and FG work together. The default voice is poor, but Melchior is working on that, so we can pick one of the better ones that are available. It's a very nice facility, and I would encourage Cygwin users to implement it. Well done Melchior, and thanks for the help. I look forward to this forming part of the base code Vivian --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems?

* John Wojnaroski -- Tuesday 07 February 2006 16:50: Don't have the code in front of me, IIRC that address is where FG sends the text string to a small wrapper program that runs the festival client OK. The voice subsytem can easily handle that, too: /sim/presets/voice/host=192.168.2.15 /sim/presets/voice/port=7100 /sim/sound/voice[0]/festival=false This sends voice[0] in raw form to that address like before, and should work for you out of the box. festival defaults to true, which adds the festival syntax around the messages and the pitch/speed commands. My approach is to run festival on a seperate machine so as not to reduce the frame rate. That was never a question. Of course that's preferable and possible. It's just not an option for the majority and shouldn't be default. [sphinx] It was moderately difficult. The biggest item was creating the word dictionary or corpus Ahh, yes. Now I remember. This wasn't only tedious, it also made the whole sphinx a fata morgana. I had thought it were a real speech-to-text solution, not a text sample recognition program. I instantly lost interest, but I still have it here. :-) m. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!

[Flightgear-devel] Airway routing heads up
Hi Guys, I just finished adding a few more hacks to my good old global airport/navaid/timezone test program, so that I can now plot the results from FlightGear's airway route tracing algorithm: http://durktalsma.xs4all.nl/FlightGear/web/35.html Notice that the routing algorithm is still far from perfect, but I thought it would be fun to share some of the initial experiments with you guys...

It still seemed to fly quite well without any changes after trying it with the wing incidence fix, so in an effort to screw it up I've been toying with using the single engine loiter mode for the cruise params. Still seems to fly ok but made it a little bit livelier, which seemed about right. However, if people are flying it and liking it I don't want to break it for them, so it would be handy if people could let me know if they're using cvs FG or the last official release, which I believe doesn't include the wing-incidence fix.

If someone wants to provide me with a script or list of phrases to record I know I can find a professionally trained voice to create the audio files. As for a Texan accent, I think we can work that as well and probably a few others as well. Do we want it a 8hz or 16hz? Regards John W.
