[Asterisk-Users] Festival and Asterisk - different voices? = SOLVED!
FYI, I found a workaround with this. Festival w/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] comes with 4 voices. Here's a snippet from the siteinit.scm file: ;(set! voice_default 'voice_cmu_us_bdl_arctic_hts) (set! voice_default 'voice_cmu_us_slt_arctic_hts) ;(set! voice_default 'voice_cmu_us_jmk_arctic_hts) ;(set! voice_default 'voice_cmu_us_awb_arctic_hts) The default is to have the first line uncommented and the rest commented out. I changed that to have the cmu_us_slt_arctic_hts voice as the default. Now when Asterisk (or anything else) calls festival, it uses the female voice. If you install or create other voices in festival then you can specify the default voice here in siteinit.scm. -MC P.S. - Special thanks to Philip Edelbrock for allowing me to ask a hundred questions about festival! ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Just curious to know if anyone uses Festival with * and whether or not youve got a different voice than the default. Im looking at doing a commercial application but my boss doesnt want to shell out the $ before we do some real world testing of * and Festival.
