Problems with TTS and ECS under Linux Richard & Sandra Pompili Wed, 25 Oct 2000 21:42:33 -0400

Can anybody share some ideas about working with TTS and Linux (Caldera
2.4).

I have a problem with the TTS feature. I have followed the ECS (4.4.010)
documentation about installing the Festival  software, export variables
and password requirements. The TTS item start OK when ECS starts, but
when I open the TTS item and press  test, ECS locks up. The last two
lines showing on my terminal session are:

 - TTS: Hello. This is a test. (no voice output)
 - Converting text to tts.wav ...

 I have to press ctrl + c to end my ECS session.

 Any ideas ?  How can I test Festival without using ECS ?  Why is ECS
trying to convert this TTS item in a wav file ?

 Thank you,

 Richard Pompili
