INSTALLATION

----

Here, I assume your linux sound hardware is already set up.

; 1. Install the following RPM packages for festival
: <blockquote class="tightenable top">
festival-1.2.1-3.i386.rpm festdoc-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm festlex_OALD-1.2.1-1.i386.rpm festlex_POSLEX-1.2.1-1.i86.rpm festvox_en1-1.2.1-1.i386rpm
</blockquote>
;; And this one for MBROLA support within festival
:: <blockquote class="tightenable top bottom">
mbrola-ttp-English-1.0-3.i386.rpm
</blockquote><blockquote class="tightenable bottom">
I got the above last September/October from a Blind Linux
;; (BLINUX) site. You can find more up-to-date versions from
:: <blockquote class="tightenable top bottom">
http://leb.net/blinux/index.html
</blockquote>
or ftp://leb.net/pub/blinux/
</blockquote>

2. Install the MBROLA package. You'd probably prefer the RPMs from

<blockquote class="tightenable top">

BLINUX; however, I did mine manually from the .tar.gz files:

; from mbr205b.zip
: <blockquote class="tightenable top bottom">
mbrola => /usr/local/bin/mbrola readme.txt => /usr/local/doc/mbrola-2.05b/readme.txt
</blockquote>
; from en1.zip
: <blockquote class="tightenable top bottom">
en1/* => /usr/local/lib/mbrola/en1/*
</blockquote>
; Next, create some symbolic links
: <blockquote class="tightenable top bottom">
cd /usr/lib/mbrola ln -s /usr/local/lib/mbrola/en1 cd /usr/lib/festival/lib/voices/english/rb_mbrola ln -s /usr/lib/mbrola/en1/en1 ln -s /usr/lib/mbrola/en1/en1mrpa
</blockquote>

</blockquote>

; 3. Insert a line in /usr/lib/festival/lib/voices.scm
: <blockquote class="tightenable top bottom">
(defvar default-voice-priority-list '(
<blockquote class="tightenable top bottom">
rb_mbrola ; <= INSERT THIS LINE rab_diphone kd_diphone don_diphone gsw_diphone spanish_el )
</blockquote></blockquote>
; 4. You can test your setup by running festival like this
: <blockquote class="tightenable top bottom">
bash$ festival festival> (<span class="wikiunknown"><u>SayText</u>[SayText?action=create [[Image:uww.png|?]]]</span> "Type any text here. Sounds cool?")
:# <UTT 0x1234567>
festival> (quit)
</blockquote>

5. Festival can be configured to pre-process various file formats to

<blockquote class="tightenable top">

make them more "readable", e.g. HTML. See the festival documentation in /usr/doc/festdoc-1.2.0/festival/festival.info for information on how to set this up. It's under the section "Text modes".

As for me, I chose to write a good old sed script to do my text pre-processing instead.

</blockquote>

; 6. You can run festival in text-to-speech mode on a file
: <blockquote class="tightenable top">
festival --tts <filename>
</blockquote>
;; or on a stream
:: <blockquote class="tightenable top bottom">
pre-process <filename> | festival --tts
</blockquote><blockquote class="tightenable bottom">
"pre-process" is the name of my sed-based text pre-processor.
</blockquote>
