[Asterisk-Users] Problems with Festival...

[Leo Burd]

Hello there,

I'm having problems with Festival text-to-speech generator.  Apparently, 
Asterisk connects to the Festival server, but no audio is generated.  
Does anybody know:

a) if Asterisk is compatible with Festival 1.4.2?

b) it is possible to download new voices for text2wave (for the above 
version of Festival)?  If so, how?


If you are not happy with Festival, which tts would you use?  Is it free?

Thanks in advance,

Leo
