1.4.2 RELEASE are included. The patch adds a new command to festival
|
|

|
|
(asterisk_tts).

2) My patches to asterisk that provide variable substitution and quoting to
|
|
|
|
|
the Asterisk Extension Logic. This is not really a requirement, but without
|
|
|
|
|
this, app_festival is mostly useless (you could very well use prerecorded

|
|

voices for static information).

2) You may wish to obtain and install the asterisk-perl
|
|
|
|
|
module by James Golovich <james@gnuinter.net>, from
|
|
|
|
|
either CPAN, or his site: http://asterisk.gnuinter.net,
|
|
|
|
|
as this contains a good example of how variable text
|
|
|
|
|
can be tts'd via asterisk, namely the examples/tts-*.agi
|
|
|
|
|
files there. It has been noted that the current expression

evaluation capabilities of asterisk are not best suited
|
|
|
|
|
for the generation and manipulation of text. AGI scripting
|
|
|
|
|
can be ideal for these sorts of needs. For simpler usage,
|
|
|
|
|
fixed, pre-recorded messages may be more amenable for your
|
|
|
|
|
purposes.

3) Before running asterisk, you have to run festival-server with a command
