Hi linuxdev, thank you for your response;
what is your default voice<<<<<<<<<<<
festival> (voice_default)
SIOD ERROR: unbound variable : voice_cmu_us_slt_arctic_clunits
by default it uses the "
kal_diphone
├── festvox
│ ├── kal_diphone.scm
│ └── kaldurtreeZ.scm
"
it was the only one installed with apt-get by default;
Later I managed to add “http://festvox.org/packed/festival/2.4/voices/festvox_cmu_us_fem_cg.tar.gz”
It seems to recognize it, on add to the /usr/share/festival/voices/us folder it lists it on:
festival> (voice.list)
(nitech_us_awb_arctic_hts cmu_us_fem_cg kal_diphone)
I think it will recognize and allow to use any of the voices from the link http://festvox.org/packed/festival/2.4/voices/ at once and automatically.
It allows to select and set a “voice-to-be-used” with execution
festival> (voice_kal_diphone)
kal_diphone
and it sets a default voice either via /etc/festival.scm line add
“(set! voice_default voice_cmu_us_slt_arctic_hts)” , however that wont work in my case.
May be I should try set the default voice in one of a different ways described there:https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Festival
It also recognises hts voices available from Japan but it wont work at once, unfortunately:
festival> (voice_nitech_us_awb_arctic_hts)
nitech_us_awb_arctic_hts
festival> (SayText "hello")
Warning: HTS_fopen: Cannot open hts/htsvoice.
