# Epos output module is based on the generic plugin for Speech # Dispatcher. It means there is no C code written explicitly for # this plugin, all the specifics are handled in this configuration # and we call a simple command line client to perform the actual # synthesis. # # WARNING: You will need to either rename the command epos-say in # GenericExecuteString to what's the name of this utility on your # system (it might be "say"), or (better) create a link epos-say # somewhere in your path to the epos's say client. # GenericExecuteSynth is the shell command that should be # executed in order to say some message. This command must # stop saying the message on SIGKILL, otherwise it's useless. # You can use the variables $LANGUAGE, $VOICE, $PITCH and $RATE # which will be substituted for the appropriate value (you # can modify this value, see other parameters). # The command can be split into more lines, if necessary, using '\'. GenericExecuteSynth \ "epos-say -o --language $LANGUAGE --voice $VOICE --init_f $PITCH --init_t $RATE \ \'$DATA\' | sed -e /unknown*/d >$TMPDIR/epos-said.wav && play $TMPDIR/epos-said.wav >/dev/null" # GenericStripPunctChars is a list (enclosed in doublequotes) of # all the characters that should be replaced by whitespaces in # order not to be badly handled by the output module or misinterpreted # by shell. # GenericStripPunctChars "~@#$%^&*+=|\\/<>[]_`" # AddVoice specifies which $VOICE string should be assigned to # each language and symbolic voice name. All the voices you want # to use must be specified here. AddVoice "cs" "male1" "kadlec" AddVoice "sk" "male1" "bob" # If the language you need to pass in $LANG is different # from the standard ISO language code, you can specify # which string to use instead. If you wish to use # other than ISO charset for the specified language, # you can add it's name (as accepted by iconv) as a # third parameter in doublequotes. GenericLanguage "cs" "czech" GenericLanguage "sk" "slovak" # These parameters set _rate_ and _pitch_ conversion. This is # part of the core of the definition of this generic output # module for this concrete synthesizer, it's not intended to # be modified by common users. # The resulting rate (or pitch) has the form: # (speechd_rate * GenericRateMultiply) + GenericRateAdd # while speechd_rate is a value between -100 (lowest) and +100 (highest) # You have to define some meaningful conversion for each synthesizer GenericRateAdd 100 GenericPitchAdd 100 #GenericVolumeAdd 100 # (These values are multiplied by 100, because DotConf currently # doesn't support floats.
