Synthesis 1.95:beta July 2004 Eval</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Hello--<BR><BR>In the interests of playing around and wasting
time, I've installed the latest version of the<BR>Festival stuff,
1.95beta.<BR><BR>And, in the interests of future Asterisk-Festival
connectivity, I applied the 1.4.3 patch to put in the<BR>asterisk related
routines. I did it by hand, but, it looks like the patch will apply with no
comment.<BR>Asterisk works with the new server...<BR><BR>BUT<BR><BR>the speed
of what's played over the speaker vs. what you hear over the phone is off by
maybe 2x.<BR>The voice isn't shifted in frequency at all. On Asterisk, the
voice just speaks twice as fast as it does <BR>coming from festival over the
speakers. And, if you are having it say jokes at double speed, well, it
reminds me of speed reading.<BR><BR>There must be some lever or pulley or
switch or something to modify the speed.<BR><BR>AND<BR><BR>Hoo boy, try
putting this in your siteinit.scm file:<BR><BR>(set! voice_default
'voice_cstr_us_awb_arctic_multisyn)<BR><BR>and listen to this:<BR><BR>(SayText
"Hello there, kyootee pie.")<BR>(SayText "Don't you just love the sound of my
voice.")<BR>(SayText "My wife, Sonya, Makes the best bread there ever
was")<BR><BR>Best synthetic voice I've ever heard.<BR><BR>murf<BR><BR><BR>
