I will check if I am doing something wrong at compiling time. If you want to have a look, let me know and I will upload what I've done so far. I don't mind credit, I want stuff that works. If you are interested in this, I can guide you on the modifications I've done to this. Or you can just run diff against the original source code.

Lupines.

P.S.: Is there an irc server/channel people around here hang out?
Found the problem. It was looking for the files under my home directory. That's where I compiled everything. I created /home/lupines/festival inside my Kindle and everything started to work. Now the problem is sound:

festival> (SayText "Hello")
Linux: can't open /dev/dsp
#<Utterance 0x40132b98>

This is the same problem as with flite. I'll have to look into this.

Festival

twobob,

I got Festival to work. But I am having problems with the sampling rate. I am using aplay to get the output from Festival to the sound card. Can you tell me which audio sampling should I use? This sounds reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally sloooooooooooooooooooooooow...

festival> (SayText "Hello world!")
Playing WAVE '/tmp/audiofile_31122' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 16000 Hz, Mono
#<Utterance 0x401903b8>

Thanks,
Lupines.

16k mono is the only one that is broken, and only on a kindle 3.

Any rate but that. any at all.

: )

44.1k 16 bit mono would be nice. or 32k maybe.

Adding this to festival.scm got it to work...

(Parameter.set 'Audio_Method 'Audio_Command)
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Required_Format 'wav)
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Required_Rate '8000)
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Command "aplay -q -c2 -t wav -r 8000 $FILE")

I will try to get some higher rate without the voice breaking up. Once I get a more decent compilation/installation I'll upload it for you to play with. I just found how to move the .scm files to a propper directory. Is there a convention on how to place the directories and such under /mnt/us for applications? I would like to follow up something more standard than my /mnt/us/arm-linux directory.

---------
I just tried with this:

(Parameter.set 'Audio_Required_Rate '22050)
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Command "aplay -q -c2 -t wav -r 22050 $FILE")

And it works. I am no expert. But it sounds pretty decently. I am still having the problem with the sound delay. It is the same problem I had with flite.

I guess the next step will be to add the mbrola voices.

Lupines.
