Re: [misterhouse-users] vvo_speak

[Bradford W. R. <br...@re...>]

I've made some headway.  I found the IBM TTS runtime and SDK.  The SDK has the
replacement routines for Outloud, though it looks largely like a name change
more than anything.  I was able to find the vvo_speak code at
http://dittos.yi.org/automation/ which is a different location from that quoted
in mh.ini.  Installed the vvo_speak RPM and that works standalone, but am
getting an "vvo_speak: ERROR: eciAddText (speak_text) error." when MH sends it
data.  I'm trying to track down that problem in the source.  

I saw the tip on the ALSA code and will likely pursue that in the end-run.
