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

$ make menuconfig
Package Selection for the target  --->
    Audio libraries and applications  --->

Usage

  • Make sure your Audio Out is working. If not configure ALSA.
  • Use command line tool:
# flite -t "Hello world"
  • to use different voices:
# 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"
Note Note: If you get a "Segmentation Fault" when launching your OpenGL demos, try to do an
# export LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libpthread.so.0 
just before.


Perf

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