Q: How do I configure Speech Dispatcher in user-mode?
|
|
|
|
A: Run
|
|
spd-conf
|
|
and answer some basic questions
|
|
|
|
Q: During the instalation, when running `make' and `make install',
|
|
I get some strange message from libtool and the process crashes:
|
|
../../libtool: s%^.*/%%: is not a file or directory
|
|
../../libtool: -e: command not found
|
|
../../libtool: -e: command not found
|
|
(repeating several times)
|
|
|
|
A: Libtool uses `sed' as it's tool to modify text, but the new versions rely on
|
|
the environment variable SED to contain the name of the command to call.
|
|
This variable must be set when building programs using these versions of
|
|
libtool. You can run make like that (if you have `sed' in your PATH):
|
|
|
|
$ SED=sed make
|
|
$ su root
|
|
$ SED=sed make install
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
$ export SED=sed
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ su root
|
|
$ make install
|

|
Q: Flite has only a very crappy voice!
|
|
|
|
A: Flite is only a simple light software synthesizer and it's voices are not of
|
|
a very high quality. Festival can do much better and it also supports
|
|
various languages. But if you are compiling Flite and Speech Dispatcher
|
|
yourselves, there are still chances that you can improve the Flite voice
|
|
considerably by using the 16-bit KAL voice instead of the (in the
|
|
distribution tarball default) 8-bit voice. To be able to use the 16-bit
|
|
voice, you have to compile Flite with a special flag, please consult it's
|
|
documentation or ./configure --help. Then you should recompile Speech
|
|
Dispatcher (no flag is necessary, it will be automatically installed with
|
|
the better voice).
|
|
|
|
If you are using Debian or any other package based distribution, the 16-bit
|
|
voice should be installed by default and there is no need for you to care
|
|
about it.
|
|
|
|
Q: Festival doesn't speak. What can I do?
|
|
|
|
A: Are you sure you have installed festival-freebsoft-utils 0.3 or higher as
|
|
described in the file INSTALL?
|
|
|
|
A: Are you sure you are not running into the famous 'server_access_list'
|
|
problem? Please see the file INSTALL.
