FESTIVAL(1) General Commands Manual FESTIVAL(1) NAME festival - a text-to-speech system. SYNOPSIS festival [options] [file0] [file1] ... DESCRIPTION Festival is a general purpose text-to-speech system. As well as simply rendering text as speech it can be used in an interactive command mode for testing and developing various aspects of speech synthesis technol- ogy. Festival has two major modes, command and tts (text-to-speech). When in command mode input (from file or interactively) is interpreted by the command interpreter. When in tts mode input is rendered as speech. When in command mode filenames that start with a left paranthesis are treated as literal commands and evaluated.

A manual with much detail (though not complete) is available in dis- tributed as part of the system and is also accessible at http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/manual/ Although we cannot guarantee the time required to fix bugs, we would appreciated it if they were reported to festival-bug@cstr.ed.ac.uk AUTHOR Alan W Black, Richard Caley and Paul Taylor (C) Centre for Speech Technology Research, 1996-1998 University of Edinburgh 80 South Bridge Edinburgh EH1 1HN http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival.html 6th Apr 1998 FESTIVAL(1)
