Festival 1.95:

[Steve Dawes]

 I think you may have nailed it.

When I look in the voices directory, all I see are the hts and diphone
voices.
So, now I need to go and find the mbrola voices.
That kinda bugs me that they are not part of the 195 RPMS.

Hello,
I don't know if Fedora has pre-built packages for festival 1.95, but the
following is what I had to do with it from source in slackware.
Download festival and the desired voices. Build it and install it as told in
the INSTALL file. Install mbrola and put the voices I wanted in the
appropiate directory in the festival voice directory. Set the default voice
in the siteinit.scm file. The voice names for mbrola that you would put in
the file are voice_us1_mbrola, voice_us2_mbrola, voice_us2_mbrola and so on.
If there are rpm packages for fedora, make sure you have the mbrola voices
installed if you want them, they are not always included by default (gentoo
did not have them in the standard package).

Does anyone have any experience with festival 1.95.
I am trying to set the default voice in the siteinit.scm file to
us1_rmbola. All I get is errors. I am sure that I am missing something,
but can't figure out what.
The error message is siod variable undefined.

I should also add that I am trying to get festival 1.95 working on a
fedora core 3 box.
