Festival TTS doesn't work with GoldenDict (Git version)
Posted: Mon Nov 12, 2012 11:11 pmI can't get Festival TTS to work with GoldenDict version 1.0.2~git20110906-1, which is found in the repository for Debian Testing. With this version, I can use Espeak TTS, but I can't get Festival TTS to work.
GoldenDict pronounces words, if I go to Edit > Dictionaries in the menu, then to Sources > Programs in the "Dictionaries" dialog box, then click on "Add" to add a new program. Then I select "Enabled" and "Plain Text" and add the command: espeak "%GDWORD%"
However, if I use the same settings as Espeak but with the following command: echo "%GDWORD%" | /usr/bin/festival --tts
I don't hear anything and "Festival" appears in the list of Dictionaries when I do a search.
If I use the same command in the command line, festival works without any problems. Any suggestions?
