Though there's no need to install festival from source since the version in the repos is 1.95, recent enough to install the voices.
The mbrola binary zip linked to in the HOWTO has a ppc linux binary which you can just copy to to /usr/local/bin as mbrola and then install the voices as described.
You'll want your .festivalrc to have the following lines in it so it uses alsa:
- Code: Select all
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Command "aplay -q -c 1 -t raw -f s16 -r $SR $FILE")
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Method 'Audio_Command)
Have it read man pages:
- Code: Select all
man ps3-boot-game-os | col -b | festival --tts
It even says the following line correctly, or at least one of the nitech voices does.
