I don't know about the problem with using cepstral as a festival voice. As I said, speechd-up only can access the first three festival voices. Let's say you had don_diphone, kal_diphone, ked_diphone and rab_diphone voices installed, speechd-up can only access don_diphone, kal_diphone and ked_diphone. You would not be able to access rab_diphone without removing one of the voices before it e.g. don_diphone. when I referred to writing a module for the cepstral voices, I meant taking the generic one, and altering the configuration file, like it has been done for using dectalk software synth. This would not require any knowledge of C or C++. I am considering trying to do this for myself, so if I do it, I could let you have the file. I don't know when I will manage to do this, I am quite busy at the moment.

I'm not very good in c or c++ so I don't think that writing a module is something for me. Cepstral voices do work with festival. I've tried it. My cepstral voice (david) works in a test with speech dispatcher, the general.test. when setting another language. It tries to speak french, but it doesn't sound good. so the voice is accessible in some way through dispatcher, but not with speechd_up. what can be wrong? /kristoffer On Tue, 26 Apr 2005 22:44:42 +0000, "Michael Whapples" <mikster4 at msn.com> said: > I haven't heard of using cepstral voices as a festival voice, but > I don't know all about festival.
