Hey Minnesota
try this just paste the code in green in the console and press enter
later you could make it a script called
festival-sound-check
and make it executable
*I try to keep things simple so that these little
code snippets can be reused easily with copy and paste
Code: Select all
#! /bin/bash
# Joe Arose 7-01-2010
# call this festival-sound-check
# quick sound check for festival
# also another simple way to do messages
# EOF is better because it allows any character
# to be used without escaping special characters
cat << EOF >/tmp/festival_sound_test.txt
You are testing the sound quality of festival
this message will self destruct in five minutes
EOF
festival --tts /tmp/festival_sound_test.txt
Code: Select all
#! /bin/bash
# Joe Arose 7-01-2010
# call this espeak-sound-check
# quick sound check for espeak
# also another simple way to do messages
# EOF is better because it allows any character
# to be used without escaping special characters
cat << EOF >/tmp/espeak-sound-check.txt
You are testing the sound quality of espeak
this message will self destruct in five minutes
EOF
espeak -s 120 -f /tmp/espeak-sound-check.txt | aplay
I used to build hundreds of pets but puppy kept changing with each version
so I dont make pets any more
learning how to convert packages will be your best programming skill
or if you used slaxer_pup I have it set up so that you just click on any slackware package be it *.tgz *.txz *.tlz *.tbz and it just auto installs without
any conversions it keeps a data base does dependency checking and allows you to uninstall them with a GUI . imagine how many packages you could install easily
if you wanted to try the light espeak for size and quality espeak is the winnner
installing these packages is all you need
