festival

Hi All,

This post explains how to make use of the software festival - one that is used as a text to speech synthesis system...

Make sure that you have festival installed...

Or else issue this command:

sudo apt-get install festival

Or thro synaptic install festival

Once festival is installed, create a text file and save it a.txt

Issuing this below command will read out your a.txt as speech:

festival --tts a.txt

Note above line contains 2 hyphens before tts

Thats it..

Tc,
Ananth S Gouri
