Re: [Flightgear-devel] Re: [PATCH][RFC] speech synthesis with festival

[John W. <ca...@mm...>]

Okay, that's a start....

The text-to-speech stuff is best handled by festival, so we won't do 
those. Combinations of words and phrases are best handled by something 
other than canned audio files,  just way too many possibilities for 
context specific communications.  Things like ATC chatter provide a nice 
non-specific background. Idea is to mix that with cockpit cues and 
festival text-to-speech for AI generate communications.

As for sex of the voice, we need to go with what the various aircraft 
models use. In some this is a male voice.  Language specific is not a 
problem.  It will take a few weeks to pull it all together, but doable.  
Stay tuned....
