You can either use festival --server & or /path/to/festival/src/scripts/festival_server.sh which acts as the first but also does some configuration of the server that may be usrful. I personally reccommend the shell script but people have reported success with both. HtH Owen On 28 Apr 2003, SergeyFleytin wrote: > Hi, folks! Greetings from Russia!
