| This directory contains the BRLTTY speech driver for the Festival Lite text to |
| speech engine from the CMU Speech Center [http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/flite/] |
| of Carnegie Mellon University [http://www.cmu.edu]. It was implemented, and is |
| being maintained, by Mario Lang <mlang@delysid.org>. |
| |
| BRLTTY's configure script automatically includes this driver if Festival Lite |
| has been installed. The default is to check the directories /usr, /usr/local, |
| /usr/local/FestivalLite, /usr/local/flite, /opt/FestivalLite, and /opt/flite. |
| The actual location can be explicitly specified via --with-flite. |
| |
| Additionally, Festival Lite's language, lexicon and voice can be specified |
| using the configure script options --with-flite-language, --with-flite-lexicon |
| and --with-flite-voice. The default voice is cmu_us_kal16. |
| |
| This driver and that for the Theta text to speech engine cannot be linked into |
| BRLTTY's binary at the same time (via --enable-speech-driver) because their |
| run-time libraries contain conflicting symbols. |
| |
| This driver recognizes the following parameters: |
| |
| Parameter Settings |
| pitch 50-200 (percent from default) |
