enhance Festival with some useful features. They provide all what is
needed for interaction with Speech Dispatcher.
Key festival-freebsoft-utils features are:
- Generalized concept of input events. festival-freebsoft-utils
allows not only plain text synthesis, but also combining it with
sounds. Additionally, mechanism of logical events mapped to other
events is provided.
- Substitution of events for given words.
- High-level voice selection mechanism and setting of basic prosodic
parameters.
- Spelling mode.
- Capital letter signalization.
- Punctuation modes, for explicit reading or not reading punctuation
characters.
- Incremental synthesis of texts and events.
- Speech Dispatcher support.
- Rudimentary SSML support.
- Enhancing the Festival extension language with some functions
commonly used in Lisp. Support for wrapping already defined
Festival functions by your own code.
- Everything is written in the extension language, no patching of the
Festival C++ sources is needed.
All the functionality is under development. Some things could be done in a
better way, any help is welcome.
