Festival
I’m finding out about Festival, a text-to-speech system.
The purpose is simple, you type a text in English (it can speak Spanish too, I still haven’t tried it) , the program reads the text either in American or British English and it’s possible to export the output to any format; for example:
text2wave asciifile.txt | oggenc - > newfile.ogg
would output the following OGG file.
Also, you can run it in interactive mode, based on lisp:
festival
festival> (voice_ked_diphone) 'choose an American voice
festival> (SayText "Welcome to Swobodin's Blog")
