- Installation instructions for voice-czech-machac
- ================================================
- * Prerequisities
- Building this voice was tested with Festival 2.0.95 and 2.1.
- Using this voice was tested with Festival 2.0.95.
- voice-czech-machac contains just a Czech voice. To synthesize something, you
- need festival-czech package providing Czech support for Festival.
- festival-czech is available from http://www.freebsoft.org/festival-czech . To
- install it, follow its installation instructions.
- * Building the voice
- If you install from the binary distribution, skip this step.
- In order to build the voice data, make sure you have the following additional
- software installed:
- - Edinburgh Speech Tools (Debian package speech-tools).
- - Festival 2.0.95 or later; earlier versions might work but were not tested
- (Debian package festival)
- Then just invoke `make'. If it fails, it is most likely because you don't have
- installed all the tools mentioned above or you don't have properly set the
- Makefile variable estdir (it should point to the Edinburgh Speech Tools), which
- defaults to /usr (which is fine on e.g. Debian systems). To e.g. use Speech Tools
- installed into /usr/local, use:
- make estdir=/usr/local
- * Installing the voice
- Run `make install'. To adjust the installation path, use the festival_voices_path
- Makefile variable, e.g.:
- make install festival_voices_path=/usr/local/share/festival/voices
- The default (when you do not specify the variable) is
- /usr/share/festival/voices.
- If you don't have installed the standard English Festival voice or if you want
- to set this Czech voice as the default Festival voice, add the following line
- to one of the Festival initialization files (usually /etc/festival.scm for
- system wide settings or ~/.festivalrc for user specific settings):
- (set! voice_default 'voice_czech_machac)
- * Running the voice
- Start Festival and call:
- (voice_czech_machac)
- Now Festival should speak Czech!
- Local Variables:
- mode: outline
- End:
