Re; Text to speech.
Hello Simon and Martin. Thanx for the info on text to speech system. I have
downloaded festival, kttsmgr and I think the other one was flite (not 100%
sure on last one ) this gives me 2 icons on my acer aspire and eeepc. One
says kmouth and the other kttsmgr. I also bought a voice from cepstral.
Neither one works so far. Im trying to get them to work on my aspire first.
On the acer running eeenetbook remix I try to click on the ktts icon and a
screen pops up saying that "audio playback device HDA intel ALC268 analog is
not working" when I go to the configure tabs to audio, I have 2 choices. Kde
phonon or alsa. In alsa I have afew options under a sub heading called
device; #1 default,
#2 default:0 HAD intel ALC268 analog
#3 plughw:0<0 HAD intel alc268 analog
#4 custom
I have tried all three options and don't know what to put into #4.
What settings do I need to change to get it to talking? Also, to add the
voice that I tried.... it told me to run in a terminal box which I did. Than
read to bottom and answer "yes" than to creat a new ?opt/swift directory and
so on. It didn't do it on its own. I than created the directories manually
but it still wont add the voice to those files. Probably something simple
that im missing. Im wondering if I might need a response from the tech side.
Also do I need to get "kate" from apt get for it to read from?? I think that
there is where it says to read from???
Thanx in advance for your help.
Dan

Hi Dan,
Besides the 2 already mentioned, you may want to look at Cepstral
(www.cepstral.com) for good quality "voices", however they aren't free
but certainly worth the price.
