[asterisk-users] cepstral TTS and app_swift

[Mojo with Horan & Company, LLC]

Have you tried something along the lines of:

System("swift blah blah blah -o blah.wav")
Playback("blah.wav")

It does have an inherent delay for the generation step but maybe swift 
binary segfaults less?  I've only used cepstral via swift binary, and it 
has never segfaulted for me. My swift and voice are version 4.2.0.

I doubt different voices behave differently, but just in case, I use the 
$7 Damien voice.
