In all honesty festival is the better choice here. Viavoice is rapidly getting out dated, and it has problems with certain sound cards which makes speech real choppy. I suggest using festival or freetts with gnopernicus which I have tested with the latest build of gnopernicus on a Red Hat 9 system. ----- Original Message ----- From: John Covici <covici@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Friday, May 09, 2003 2:03 AM Subject: How to get viavoice working (was Re: where did viavoice go?) > I have been unable to get viavoice to do anything -- I installed > (using alien) viavoice_tts_rtk_5.tar and viavoice_tts_sdk_5.tar, but > when I went into the programs under the samples directory, the > cmdlinespeak compiled, but complained loudly that it couldn't create > an esi handle and seemed to be looking for esi.ini (on Linux?). > Also, the filespeak program wouldn't even compile -- it was > complaining about some c++ errors. > > Has anyone figured out how to get this to work -- I am interested in > it for possibly emacspeak and also for gnopernicus access. > > -- > John Covici > covici at ccs.covici.com > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
