[Asterisk-Users] Festival Speech Synthesis 1.95:beta July 2004 Eval

2004-09-09 Thread Steve Murphy 




Hello--

In the interests of playing around and wasting time, I've installed the latest version of the
Festival stuff, 1.95beta.

And, in the interests of future Asterisk-Festival connectivity, I applied the 1.4.3 patch to put in the
asterisk related routines. I did it by hand, but, it looks like the patch will apply with no comment.
Asterisk works with the new server...

BUT

the speed of what's played over the speaker vs. what you hear over the phone is off by maybe 2x.
The voice isn't shifted in frequency at all. On Asterisk, the voice just speaks twice as fast as it does 
coming from festival over the speakers. And, if you are having it say jokes at double speed, well, it reminds me of speed reading.

There must be some lever or pulley or switch or something to modify the speed.

AND

Hoo boy, try putting this in your siteinit.scm file:

(set! voice_default 'voice_cstr_us_awb_arctic_multisyn)

and listen to this:

 (SayText Hello there, kyootee pie.)
(SayText Don't you just love the sound of my voice.)
(SayText My wife, Sonya, Makes the best bread there ever was)

Best synthetic voice I've ever heard.
