Fedora :: Run "festival" (voice Synthesis) Without A X Server
Jan 8, 2010
I want to run "festival" (voice synthesis) without an X server running - from the command line of a console or from a "cron" job. I've been searching the web for a while and still can't understand why access to the sound card requires an X server. I can run a command-line sound program from inside an X session just fine, but from a console I get "XOpenDisplay() failed" or "Cannot connect". What do I need to do?

when I change the .festivalrc file to have (voice.select 'nitech_us_slt_arctic_hts) it seems ignored.I also tried (set! voice_default 'nitech_us_slt_arctic_hts), but that gives errors.

I am working on a robot project and the robot uses a custom light version of Linux (it has the Freescale Dragonball CPU in the bot so it doesn't have much "room"). We are using flite to do text-to-speech. I would like to know if there is a way to create a vocoder voice for this? Is there already a vocoder voice that works with flite or festival? Or is there some kind of voice creator that can be used to create voices for flite/festival?

I just installed ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop. Everything works well, but I have problem with sound. Output is OK as I can hear any sound from the computer; but there is no input sound from the mic. I am unable to record any voice or talk in voice chat.

I installed some time ago a Wheezy with speech synthesis, so the audio _does_ work, as I currently can hear boot messages. However, after login I can't hear any other audio, neither streaming nor mp3.
The boot messages feature some complaint about Pulse Audio. (I get similar complaints on another machine whose audio does work anyway)

Does anyone know of a commercial program that will run on openSUSE?I need something that is fairly user friendly, identifies individual voices, and does not require Wine. The machine is to be completely controlled by voice and would be programmed to issue vocals in response to vocal requests for what is in the various databases and I/O software, such as motion control and other sensor subsystems. In other words, a program that lends itself to AI robotics.I do not have the time to develop CMSphinx, and I am willing to pay. I have been on a few sites but they are cryptic as far as the technicals, which I do not fully understand anyway.

In case I missed it in my seaching is there a 3rd party Gnome plugin available for Perlbox Voice? It really is an excellent piece of software, though unfortunately it doesn't play well with Gnome. And I REALLY don't want to switch to KDE. Their website hasn't been updated in awhile, and their powers-that-be are requesting help with programming one. If it doesn't exist is their anyone that I could request/beg/bribe to make one?

How I send clipboard to festival or what is wrong here? #!/bin/bash
text='xclip -selection clipboard -o'
echo '(voice_nitech_us_awb_arctic_hts) (SayText "$text")' | festival
Says only "dollar text" to me. Just this works, but I want other script with different voice: #!/bin/bash
xclip -selection clipboard -o | festival --tts Voice changed here: echo '(voice_nitech_us_awb_arctic_hts) (SayText "say this please")' | festival

How can I record text to speech output from festival to an audio file like mp3 or ogg?
My guess would be to pipe it to a command line recorder

Has anyone come across a means to output rss feeds to audio? A Google search led me on a "wild goose chase". I was looking for a newsbeuter or snownews plugin of sorts. Either realtime output to speakers or piped to speex/ogg/mp3 I *really* need to learn how to code, so I can do these things myself

I am attempting to write a program using Festival as the TTS output. It is a weather system, so
1) takes raw data from sensors on the input.
2) converts it into a text message
3) let festival take the message and turn it into audio that I can then route out to the telephone system.
Here is my main block of code using festival:
[Code]...
I imagine some of my problem is being a C/C++ newbie, but is there anybody out there able to give me some hints? Maybe there is a different or better way to fork that process. My plan is to keep updating the buffer whose pointer is passed to the function process() with my serial port processing program in the main loop. I can protect it with a mutex during the festival_say_text() function, but otherwise it will be accessible.

I have installed Fedora 11 recently on a new system. Sphinx speech recognition was working fine on my old system. When i run the same project on my new system, the system does not respond as it is waiting for microphone voice input.
Then I checked the microphone and have set it properly and its working now. The details how i made my microphone working is at the following link: [url]
Though, I can record and play any sound, but it is not working with sphinx project.

Debian testing: $ uname -a Linux jilldando 2.6.32-trunk-486 #1 Sun Jan 10 05:53:18 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux Today I upgraded my PC with a Radeon HD 5550 video card, it has HDMI o/p with sound on it. After boot up I get get the usual sounds from the mother boards onboard intel sound card EXCEPT speech. Initially I thought it would just be that alsa might be piping synth usuage to the Radeon card so I edited the alsa-base.conf file. So I added the following to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf alias snd-card-4 snd_hda_intel
and changed: options snd_hda_intel index=0 to: options snd_hda_intel index=0,4 and rebooted, but this made no difference. Still startup sounds and sounds etc but no speech. I used the alsa project to check and these are the results: Code:

I'm using Ubuntu 10. 04 LTS sometimes and have become spoiled with a text to voice reader that can read anything I highlight or almost anything when using Win XP - It is nice to sit back and listen to what some one wrote, such as an email or a document while doing other things.I am fairly certain that there is a program or three that will do the job on Ubuntu but I just can't locate it as of today.

I was wondering if there exists a software that can change your voice over Skype (acting as a virtual sound driver in order to change the sound in real time). It would be nice because I really want one of these.

I am trying to get Skype set up for voice chat. I tested my laptop's built-in mic by messaging echo123...
The test where I called the bot worked fine. However, when I had the bot call me, the playback was silent. What could be the cause of this? I have searched extensively and cannot find a solution.

I am brand new to Linux (Ubuntu 10.10 is what I use), and always used Yahoo Messenger back when I had Windows. Why are there no programs that allow for Voice calls to individual users? (not chat rooms, as I greatly despise them, but calls from one user to another) I was told Gyachi has that, but everything I tried does not work. Pidgin doesn't allow for voice chatting either, and the only version of Yahoo messenger that is available for Unix is extremely old and outdated.
