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?
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 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?
SIOD ERROR: could not open file /usr/lib/festival/siod.scm I install festival, speech_tools, festvox (everything i need it) but i don't know what to do in this case.
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.
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.
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
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:

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.
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 was gaming last night (Mass effect 2) and I wondered if it is possible to let Ubuntu speak notification. Like: "1 new message" or "updates available" like the AI inmost of the sci-fi games. I goggeld around cause I could imagine someone wanted this to but with no luck. Any way to get voice notifications ?
I have an issue with my Ubuntu both 9.10 nad 10.04.I had the video worked perfectly untill yesterday but now i can see the video hear the noise (cars, music) but no voice of human.
I can play the DVD, but without any voice overs. The music comes in fine, same with the picture. It isn't just VLC. Same problem in Movie Player. Didn't know till just now.
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 have installed empathy, pidgin, telepathy and gstreamer plugins. How can I enable voice chat?I have already Skype runing, but I would like to set up at least one Linux client, and use google talk (gmail account) and even MSN, if it would be allowed.
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've been looking for a messenger with voice call... but I'm still not able to find one :/ I tried: emesene, aMSN, pidgin, Empathy and some others, but I can't find the option I need.
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.
Well, I enjoy the show Stargate SG-1, and I was wondering if there was any way I could get my voice to sound like that of a Goa'uld or Tok'ra while I am talking on Skype.
I'm using finch as my main chat client but I have some issues, While on Lubuntu 10.10 I get the message "segmentation fault" when I try to engage /call, I also tried starting voice chat In pidgin and pidgin also crashes. this does not occur under Ubuntu 10.10.I have the voice/video plugin installed for pidgin and from what I have been able to derive from the documentation both finch and pidgin uses the same lib.and pls no referring to use other programs, I want to fix this specific Issue with finch.
I want to do some amateur voice over works. I need an audio editor that can also play the video simultaneously to sync with the character's lip movements.The problem is my video sources are in h264 mkv, I guess it is not very friendly with many softwares.
Here's what I've searched (tried some of them too) and the results:LiVES -> can't compile with kernel 2.6.38, the offered patch (in sf) rejected (maybe different source file from the one specified in the patch)Cinerella, can't accept mkv or mp4. (after that I tried to get the source video loaded to Cinerella)x264, transcoding to lower the resolution -> no avi container output, sync problem with raw h264 stream outputavidemux_qt, trying to mux the transcoded video to avi -> crashed with h264 input video, either in elementary stream or matroska format (I doubt Cinerella will accept avi videos with h264 codec, if I could ever make one)ffmpeg, transcode from h264 to xvid -> shared library error: libavutil.so.49 not found xvidenc shell script -> no mencoder (I'm using mplayer2)
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?
