Festival errors

[Garrett Klein]

On the download site for Festival, there are lots of festlex* and festvox*
files, you unzip them in the directory right above where you unpacked
Festival, so, in my case, I just did cd .. from /usr/local/festival and did
a for loop to extract all the lexicons/voices. HTH.

Hi Garrett,
  How did you install the various voice files for Festival? The default 8KHZ
voice which comes in the Festival RPM is quite monotynous and is difficult
to understand. Would I be better off purchasing DecTalk from Fonix?
