Jovie

Jovie is no more available

Festival

It provides a better experience with the voice. It is available only in English, what I found.

After installation of the package festival, it does not work with jovie.

I added these lines to the end of new created .festivalrc file. It seems that it can be also added to /usr/share/festival/festival.scm:

(Parameter.set 'Audio_Required_Format 'aiff)
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Method 'Audio_Command)
(Parameter.set 'Audio_Command "paplay $FILE --client-name=Festival --stream-name=Speech")

I edited also /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf to uncomment

AddModule "festival"     "sd_festival"  "festival.conf"

Svox Pico

Svox is a tool coming from Android world. But it can be used with Linux. The Speech-dispatcher v 0.8 (already in cauldron/mga4) has a module to use it.

svox-pico is now in Mageia repositories (since Mageia 5).
