Revision history [back]

Hi Guido,

I submitted a ticket for the "deep slow voice" issue about 6 weeks ago. In the meantime, the only way I figured out how to change the voice is as follows. (This applies to Ubuntu 10.04 with Diamondback debian packages and Festival debian packages.)

$ cd /usr/share/festival
$ sudo pico voices.scm

(Or use whatever editor you like instead of pico.)

Once in the editor, search for "kal_diphone" (without the quotes). Change this to "don_diphone" (again without the quotes).

Save changes and exit the editor.

You should now hear a better voice when using sound_play node + say.py.
