Text To Speech

English Programming/Scripting
#1

Hello guys;

I’ve been searching for TTS for Linux to make Linux able to talk like Windows. ( So my programs can talk )

I found a TTS program called Festival Lite , flite. It only comes in source code.
I was wondering if someone could compile it and make a SUSE package installer for it for Packman?

Thank You!!

Hi
Network:Telephony is probably the best one.

I clicked on several and finally got AdrianSUSE downloaded and installed…
It came from a private developers box (Adrian??)

now i just open a console and type echo "Hello There!! | flite

And it talks…

Now the question is? . How to get it to work from inside of an app? got any ideas for me to try?

#6

I figured it out!!

From inside of FreeBASIC for Linux 64 , you just



SHELL "echo ""Hello Dave , How are you doing?"" | flite"

END

You have to use the quote marks like above to get it to work…

For speech to work with a string var you need to do the following. in your FreeBasic Linux 64 code.



dim as string text = "you need tens or better to score."

dim as string text_w_l  = "you lost."

shell( "echo " & text & text_w_l & " | flite")
