Speech
The GCS is able to provide the messages of the console via the speakers by starting with the option -speech.
On Ubuntu 10.10 this works out of the box with speech-dispatcher and espeak.
Using festival
If you want to use festival instead you need to install some packages and configure the speech-dispatcher to use festival.
1. Packages Installation
Install festival, speech-dispatcher and speech-dispatcher-festival packages, if not already installed.
2. Configuration
edit festival.conf in /etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/ and change or uncomment the following lines:
# Address where the Festival server runs (you have to
# have a Festival server running, please see documentation).
FestivalServerHost "localhost"
FestivalServerPort 1314
Then edit speechd.conf in /etc/speech-dispatcher/
Port 6560
AddModule "espeak" "sd_espeak" "espeak.conf"
AddModule "festival" "sd_festival" "festival.conf"
#AddModule "flite" "sd_flite" "flite.conf"
#AddModule "espeak-generic" "sd_generic" "espeak-generic.conf"
#AddModule "epos-generic" "sd_generic" "epos-generic.conf"
#AddModule "dtk-generic" "sd_generic" "dtk-generic.conf"
#AddModule "ibmtts" "sd_ibmtts" "ibmtts.conf"
#AddModule "cicero" "sd_cicero" "cicero.conf"
DefaultModule festival
#LanguageDefaultModule "en" "espeak"
LanguageDefaultModule "en" "festival"
#LanguageDefaultModule "cs" "festival"
#LanguageDefaultModule "es" "festival"
3. Starting the applications/servers
Type in the command window:
festival --server
sudo /etc/init.d/speech-dispatcher restart
Start the GCS with the -speech option and there you go! (Hopefully)
