Has any programmer advance-configured pico2wave? Beyond its default capabilities?
I have reached up to this step, but not this step.
Only that this file:
Code: Select all
speech-dispatcher
Code: Select all
/etc/defaults
Code: Select all
RUN=no
Code: Select all
/etc/default
Code: Select all
RUN=yes
Code: Select all
RUN=no
Code: Select all
pico2wave -w lookdave.wav "Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this." && aplay lookdave.wav
Code: Select all
./speak.sh "$(cat hello.txt)"
The speak.sh file being:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
# How to Use this script to read a txt file?
#
# Then run it with the desired text:
# speak.sh "hello world"
# or read the contents of an entire file:
# speak.sh "$(cat <filename>)"
echo "./speak.sh \"\$(cat filename)\""
pico2wave -l=en-US -w=/tmp/test.wav "$1"
aplay /tmp/test.wav
rm /tmp/test.wav
Any suggestions?
Later ...
It was later learnt that pico2wave used SVOX binary from Google. I thanked Dr. Samuel Thibault and the Debian Accessibility Team for porting the said binary to Debian, on the 31st of August 2018. I was informed that
So let us wait with expectation from Team Debian on a future implementation of the SVOX package or something even better.The libttspico library itself doesn't seem to have an interface to change the sampling rate, actually.
