=Improving Quality=
== using meghan voice ==
=== Run the Server ===
*open terminal: <pre>cd /Users/murmur/Desktop/meghan festival_server -c meghans_special_sauce.scm</pre>
*To kill the server:
=== Run the Client ===
*open a 2nd terminal window:
<pre>
</pre>
*Other stuff (python):
os.popen("/Applications/festival_2.1/festival/src/main/festival_client /Users/murmur/Desktop/meghan/myfile.txt --ttw --output /Users/murmur/Desktop/meghan/client_test78.wav")
</pre>
==Using A Newly Trained Voice ==
===Modify the voice so festival knows it's there===
*With festival 2.1
*copy the voice data into <code>/usr/share/festival/voices/english</code>
*edit '''/usr/share/festival/voices.scm ''' and add the new voice <code>uw_us_rdt_clunits</code> at the beginning of the default-voice-priority-list. (end of the file)
*now your new voice should be the default for festival.
==rpi with external i2s dac==
*change aplay command within festival/scheme:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Command "aplay -q -c 2 -t raw -f s16 -r 8000 $FILE")"
</syntaxhighlight>
*or add to startup: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Festival#Usage_with_a_Sound_Server
=Tuning phrasing, prosody, etc with SABLE=
*http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/manual/festival_10.html#SEC31
*run the server
*run the client: <code>cat ~/Documents/speech\ performance/speech\ performance\ structure.txt | festival_client --ttw --output structure.wav</code>
