Installation instructions for voice-czech-dita
2
==============================================
6
Building this voice was tested with Festival 2.0.95 and 2.1.
7
Using this voice was tested with Festival 2.0.95.
9
voice-czech-dita contains just a Czech voice. To synthesize something, you need
10
festival-czech package providing Czech support for Festival. festival-czech is
11
available from http://www.freebsoft.org/festival-czech . To install it, follow
12
its installation instructions.
16
If you install from the binary distribution, skip this step.
18
In order to build the voice data, make sure you have the following additional
21
- Edinburgh Speech Tools (Debian package speech-tools).
23
- Festival 2.0.95 or later; earlier versions might work but were not tested
24
(Debian package festival)
26
Then just invoke `make'. If it fails, it is most likely because you don't have
27
installed all the tools mentioned above or you don't have properly set the
28
Makefile variable estdir (it should point to the Edinburgh Speech Tools), which
29
defaults to /usr (which is fine on e.g. Debian systems). To e.g. use Speech Tools
30
installed into /usr/local, use:
32
make estdir=/usr/local
34
* Installing the voice
36
Run `make install'. To adjust the installation path, use the festival_voices_path
37
Makefile variable, e.g.:
39
make install festival_voices_path=/usr/local/share/festival/voices
41
The default (when you do not specify the variable) is
42
/usr/share/festival/voices.
44
If you don't have installed the standard English Festival voice or if you want
45
to set this Czech voice as the default Festival voice, add the following line
46
to one of the Festival initialization files (usually /etc/festival.scm for
47
system wide settings or ~/.festivalrc for user specific settings):
49
(set! voice_default 'voice_czech_dita)
53
Start Festival and call:
57
Now Festival should speak Czech!
