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
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. :-) At one time there was a program accessed on their website to create a dictionary. You fed it a text file of (words) as unary, di, or trigrahs and it created the LM and other phonetic files you could then download and install. That seems to have disappeared from the website or moved and I can't find it. On my system it would create a text string; e.g. "London Center, Delta 245 at Flight Level three three zero", pass it over the net to a text parser inside an AI controller (I use the word AI loosely here), which would formulate a response, create a text string, something like, "Delta 245, London Center , go ahead with your request" and pass it on to festival. Nice for demos, but not very practical for any useful work until a smarter controller was designed and built. Just one more item to add to an already long. long list of nice todo's...

The intent was to provide a means to create a data packet that would contain additional info regards the text string, such as a repeating string for ATIS, voice ID to identify speaker, etc, etc. The hard coding was merely a convience to get something to run. I agree it does need to be configurable for general use. My approach is to run festival on a seperate machine so as not to reduce the frame rate. Somewhere on a disc that code and a "howto" I started on setting up the festival server/client interface to FG exists. I would be interested in that. I think that the festival interface needs some rework, but I don't want to remove current capabilities. I'd like to merge that into my approach. I'm now supporting multiple voices that can speak at the same time, each with different pitch & speed. Individual volume doesn't work yet, and I'm not sure if it can be done at all. Better voices don't work yet, either. (If anyone can tell me how to do that over telnet, please tell me.) I have two such groups in my preferences.xml: Copilot/Instructor Voice 1.0 150.0 0.9 (SayText "FlightGear Flight Simulator") The preamble is really for selecting a different voice or testing purposes. is the property that one sets to make the voice subsystem speak with this voice. I'll rummage through some old drives I have on the shelf and find where I saved it and send it over. There was also a speech recognition program using SphinxII under [...] I had looked at that a long time ago and wasn't thrilled. I don't remember if it was complicated to set up or didn't compile. It's certainly not in wide use yet, which festival is. I'm sure that several Linux distributions come with festival already. Mine does. It was moderately difficult.

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?

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.

It just doesn't look as if there's much interest. Countered! ;-) I'm clearly looking forward to a decent AI ATC system on FlightGear (Hi, Durk! ;-) ), and I think this would include voice synthesis.

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 ...

Actually, there are plans for this. Originally I was just going to have
messages from the crew pop up in windows, but at one point I was
considering having them respond using .wav files and the sound config.
This is all part of the larger idea of having a nasal based crew to
offload pilot workload. That way I can keep the realism of the b29 and
still have it flyable by one person.

Well, you already know of my interest... it seems to work pretty nicely and certainly beats squinting at the text on the screen which is easy to miss if you're busy doing other things (as you often are when in a situation where you need to pay attention to ATC).

Just that you don't think, this won't be appreciated: I'm very much looking forward to this. It will close another gap and may bring nice effects. Now if one could add distortions to festival for making radio transmissions more realistic it would be perfect :) Looking forward to test this, as soon as my computer works again...
