RE: [Asterisk-java-users] Text-to-voice conversion options?

[Darren H. <dha...@gh...>]

Hey all,
Found the answer to my question and sharing it.  The command for
asterisk-java for Festival does look like this:

exec("Festival", "('I like asterisk java')");

Unsure with the paranthesis/single-quote, but it's a start.  The ACTUAL
problem I had was that the Festival Server was not running on the
Asterisk box, but the exec() method still returned -1 instead of -2
(with -2 being application not found).  The 'full' log on the asterisk
server will show 'calling festival_client: but can't find
festival_server' or similar.

Thanky!
-D
