Text to speech (save to file) - text2wave broken
Hello!
It seems that the script text2wave bundled with festival is broken in FreeBSD 8.0. The situation seems to have been constant for a few years already, as you can see from this thread: http://markmail.org/message/ltz57kxq...+state:results What I want to do is read a text file, send it through a text-to-speech application and save the result to a file (no playback through the soundcard). The URL seen above seems to answer that question and I tried to paste the few lines of code contained in the last post into a script file and used festival to execute it, but it didn't work. I don't even know how to program a "Hello World" in Scheme so bear with me Therefore, maybe I wasn't using the script correctly. Besides text2wave, is there an alternative that could do what I need? Thank you! Frank |

Just found out espeak which will do the job for what I need.
I am still interested in getting text2wave to work on FreeBSD 8, though. |
