Festival with spanish voices for use with maemo-mapper and more!
 

These have been around for a little while, but I wanted to create a home for questions on festival

Gnuite release maemo-mapper 2.5.2 which now supports replacing flite with a script. Both versions above supply the script to allow maemo mapper to read (spanish/American Female and more).

No luck here. I followed the instructions on tablethacker.com. App Manager says is impossible to install festival-spanish.deb.
Setup here is: Maemo-Mapper 2.5.3, flite 1.3, OS 43-7.
Any help?

same for me: cant install festival-spanish.deb, nor festival-multi.deb.

I want to use it with navit: flite works fine but i need my tts to read italian sentences: thought festival could....

Thanks Penguinbait once again for this.

I was growing tired of how awful flite sounded. I believe it's even worse than my Commodore 64 SAM voice program that I had 20+ years ago. Not to date myself.

But, now that I install the new voices, it's slower than molasses. I've tried using the different voices by remarking them in the "flite" script file one by one but I can't really see too much difference in speed. Is there a method to speed this up or do I have it installed incorrectly?

Thanks in advance.
