Building this voice was tested with Festival 2.0.95 and 2.1. |

Using this voice was tested with Festival 2.0.95. |

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. |
|

||

* Building the voice
|
|
15 |
||
16 |
If you install from the binary distribution, skip this step. |
|
17 |
||
18 |
In order to build the voice data, make sure you have the following additional |
|
19 |
software installed: |
|
20 |
||
21 |
- Edinburgh Speech Tools (Debian package speech-tools).
|
|
22 |
||
23 |
- Festival 2.0.95 or later; earlier versions might work but were not tested
|
|
24 |
(Debian package festival) |
|
25 |
||
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: |
|
31 |
||
32 |
make estdir=/usr/local |
|
33 |
||
34 |
* Installing the voice
|
|
35 |
||
36 |
Run `make install'. To adjust the installation path, use the festival_voices_path |
|
37 |
Makefile variable, e.g.: |
|
38 |
||
39 |
make install festival_voices_path=/usr/local/share/festival/voices |
|
40 |
||
41 |
The default (when you do not specify the variable) is |
|
42 |
/usr/share/festival/voices. |
|
43 |
||
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): |
|
48 |
||
49 |
(set! voice_default 'voice_czech_dita) |
|
50 |
||
51 |
* Running the voice
|
|
52 |
||
53 |
Start Festival and call: |
|
54 |
||
55 |
(voice_czech_dita) |
|
56 |
||
57 |
Now Festival should speak Czech! |
