Flite: a small, fast run time synthesis engine

From Flite authors: ''"Flite (festival-lite) is a small, fast run-time synthesis engine developed at CMU and primarily designed for small embedded machines and/or large servers. Flite is designed as an alternative synthesis engine to Festival for voices built using the FestVox suite of voice building tools."''

==Installation==
<pre class="host">
$ make menuconfig
</pre>
<pre class="config">
Package Selection for the target --->
Audio libraries and applications --->
</pre>

==Usage==
* Make sure your Audio Out is working. If not configure [[ALSA]].
* Use command line tool:
<pre class="apf">
# flite -t "Hello world"
</pre>
* to use different voices:
<pre class="apf">
# flite -voice kal -t "You've got a new mail"
# flite -voice rms -t "You've got a new mail"
# flite -voice slt -t "You've got a new mail"
# flite -voice awb -t "You've got a new mail"
# flite -voice kal16 -t "You've got a new mail"
</pre>

{{Note|If you get a "Segmentation Fault" when launching your OpenGL demos, try to do an <pre class="apf"># export LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libpthread.so.0 </pre> just before.}}

==Perf==
* Some voices are quite long to compute, even on APF27 (ARM9 @ 400Mhz)

+* Some voices are quite long to compute, even on APF27 (ARM9 @ 400Mhz); default one is ok but IIRC not very impressive compared to what I was doing with my 8Mhz Amiga 2000 ;-) ([[User:JulienB|JulienB]]).
