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 technology.
|
|
|
|
Festival has two major modes, command and tts (text-to-
|
|
speech). When in command mode input (from file or interac-
|
|
tively) is interpreted by the command interpreter. When in
|
|
tts mode input is rendered as speech.
