Re: help with voices
Hello Angelo, Sorry for first sending it as a private message, I'm sending it again to the list. That instruction seems to be correct. I don't think that there is any new information I could give you. You have said that other Festival voices are working for you, so I assume that there are no problems with audio output. Let's consider one of the nitech voices (awb) as an example. You have not described the steps you have tried and the actual results you have got (maybe there were any error messages), so I will describe the whole procedure. After downloading the voice unpack the archive: tar xvf festvox_nitech_us_awb_arctic_hts-2.1.tar.bz2 This should create the lib subdirectory in the current directory. Then you need to copy the files to the place where Festival expects to find voices. cd lib/ sudo cp hts.scm /usr/share/festival/ sudo mkdir /usr/share/festival/voices/us sudo cp -R voices/us/nitech_us_awb_arctic_hts/ /usr/share/festival/voices/us/ Then run Festival to check the installation. This will start its interactive shell. You can see the list of all available voices using the following command: (voice.list) Is the voice you are installing present in this list? If it is, then you can switch to it: (voice_nitech_us_awb_arctic_hts) Then try to synthesize some text: (SayText hello) You may type (quit) to exit the shell. Sorry, I'm just repeating what has already been written in that article,but if you get any errors during the process, please describe those errors. Olga 26.07.2009 02:04, Angelo D.

Re: help with voices (works) but...
Hello ANGELO, If the voices you are trying to use with Orca are realy working in Festival, then there should be no problems with them in Orca. I've just tested nitech hts voices with Orca and they are working for me. Have you tested those voices in Festival's interactive shell? Olga 26.07.2009 16:54, Angelo D. Marra пишет: Dear Olga, an update: I tried the commands from teminal: it works. :--) ORCA does not, it plays only the original festival voices why? I can see all the voices in orca. but not all of them work. BTW i need a front end for festival able to play, pause, chsange speed and locus in text, more then orca. I need it to open TXT RTF PDF and DOC or ODT. files Any idea? Thanks very much.

Hello Angelo, I would like to help you, but there is not enough information in your message, so I don't know what could be the problem. I'm also using Festival on Ubuntu 9.04.
