kttsd plugins
|
|
|
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
kttsd comes with 3 kind of plugins:
|
|
|
|
|
o AudioPlugins
|
|
|
|
|
o FilterPlugins
|
|
|
|
|
o SynthPlugins
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The synthetizer plugins rely on third party software, that you have to
|
|
|
|
|
install in order to make them fully functional (see kttsd Recommends:
|
|
|
|
|
field).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That software are :
|
|
|
|
|
o festival for the Festival Plugin.
|
|
|
|
|
o epos for the epos plugin.
|
|
|
|
|
o filte for the FLite plugin.
|
|
|
|
|
They all are packaged in debian.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is a Command Plugin also, that allow you to use any TTS synthetizer
|
|
|
|
|
that has a command line interface.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
kttsd contrib plugins
|
|
|
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
kttsd comes also with free Synthetizer plugins, but depends upon non free
|
|
|
|
|
software :
|
|
|
|
|
o FreeTTS plugin.
|
|
|
|
|
o Hadifix (mbrola/txt2pho) plugin.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can find these plugins in the contrib section, in the package
|
|
|
|
|
kttsd-contrib-plugins.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For additional instructions on downloading and configuring these engines for
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
