Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Re: Speech in GCS

Hi Gareth,

I don't get flite working.

espeak works fine as stand-alone:

$ espeak hello

As mentioned before, festival works fine as stand-alone.

The behaviour I get now is:

- No festival server started => spd-say goes to the dummy output and
tells me via loudspeaker where to look for log information

- festival server started => no output on the loudspeaker, following
log information:

speech-dispatcher.log:

[Wed Oct  6 21:52:50 2010 : 537519] speechd:   Connection closed

festival.log:

Wed Oct  6 21:52:51 2010 [119132] ALSA: Start of playback on ALSA
Wed Oct  6 21:52:51 2010 [119232] ALSA: Allocating new hw_params structure
Wed Oct  6 21:52:51 2010 [150853] ALSA: Freeing HW parameters
Wed Oct  6 21:52:51 2010 [150957] ALSA: End of playback on ALSA

Do you have it working on your computer? What settings are you using?

Cheers, Reto
