* Erik Hofman -- Monday 06 February 2006 13:35: Personally I feel it would be a nice addition. OK, then. I'll commit tomorrow around midday if there are no objections until then. The latest patch can be found here again, along with some documentation: http://members.aon.at/mfranz/flightgear/festival.html I'll also add most of this to $FG_ROOT/Docs/README.sound. The feature will be turned off by default (/sim/sound/voices/enabled). I will not commit the patch that disables the old ATC message display -- this should be discussed first. The new subsystem obsoletes the old ATC voice function, as it can fully 'emulate' its capabilities. This will also be described in the README. Those who have the patch already applied and want to test the latest version do only have to copy the new files voice.cxx and voice.hxx to the Sound/ dir. There are no other relevant changes. m. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Re: [PATCH][RFC] speech synthesis with festival
Okay, that's a start The text-to-speech stuff is best handled by festival, so we won't do those. Combinations of words and phrases are best handled by something other than canned audio files, just way too many possibilities for context specific communications. Things like ATC chatter provide a nice non-specific background. Idea is to mix that with cockpit cues and festival text-to-speech for AI generate communications. As for sex of the voice, we need to go with what the various aircraft models use. In some this is a male voice. Language specific is not a problem. It will take a few weeks to pull it all together, but doable. Stay tuned Isao Yamashita wrote: Agreed.

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!

The original code was written for/by John Wojnaroski so you might be

addition.
OK, then I'll continue to work on it (as I've done since yesterday).
I'll make it so that the preferences file decides how many voices there
are. For each /sim/sound/voice[*]/{text,volume,pitch,speed} there will
a channel be opened to festival and maintained by the subsystem.
We could then add aliases for copilot, instructor, etc. Would be nice
if the b29 copilot reported gear down etc., or the bo105 copilot
gave some navigation hints (I think we are too far already. :-)
BTW: the whole thing won't depend on festival. One can easily write
a few lines of perl to simulate a festival server and use the text
for different purposes. For example, to let a human or a trained
monkey read it. And all others can map the text to the screen.log.
I'll start to commit once I got permission. (The old ATC voice
thing will lose the /sim/sound/voice property first, which is used
as an enabled flag, and finally die.)
I'm working at getting Festival to compile under Cygwin. They claim that it

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Re: [PATCH][RFC] speech synthesis with festival
Yes, this is going to be a crazy week. But quickly then; The original code I sent on to Dave Luft had a socket interface in the AI module for the ATIS and AI controller. Somewhere on a disc that code and a howto I started on setting up the festival server/client interface to FG exists. There was also a speech recognition program using SphinxII under development by CMU, and a modest set of ATC phrases and words that formed the corpus. You could talk and an AI controller would respond, but it had a extremely limit *brain*. All it could do was respond and okay your request. The festival produced speech is very mechanicasl, but can be *humanized* with a markup language called SABLE. There is also a DB of voices available and the capability to create additional voices --- not a trivial task to be undertaken by the faint-hearted ;-) The ATC chatter added by Curtis creates an amazingly real aural environment, even if a bit out of context. No question that voice would be a good addition. Regards John W. Erik Hofman wrote: Melchior FRANZ wrote: It just doesn't look as if there's much interest.
