Ubuntu Text-To-Speech TTS

by Scott Preston - 2008-02-27 06:56:18

To installed text to speech follow this guide then install festvox by performing an apt-get install on one of many voices, like festvox-kallpc16k.

So for short:

sudo apt-get install festvox-kallpc16k festival

update your /etc/festival.scm

Then run a test:

echo "this is a test" | festival --tts

That's it. I will be updating Feynman6 with this code soon.
