[misterhouse-users] Cepstral voice mapping issue

[Steve S. <st...@sw...>]

Hello,
   I've recently moved to Linux, as I've mentioned before, and am using 
theta (Cepstral) for my TTS engine. Since I only have one voice, 
"Frank", I have to map all voices that I use to use to "Frank". To so 
this, i tried these lines:

speak_engine=theta
speak_volume=90
speak_voice=Frank
voice_names=female=>frank,male=>frank,male1=>frank,male2=>frank,Mary=>frank,Mike=>frank,Sam=>frank

Specifically, i thought that voice_names parm would take care of this, 
but unfortunately, theta is complaining, like below:

unmute: The garage door has been left open.
sending AW43\r to the weeder card(s)
Failed to find voice male
usage: theta [OPTIONS] [text | file] ...
  -f          Interpret arguments as filenames
              (default is as text strings)
  -p          Interpret arguments as phoneme strings
...etc...

It looks as thought MH is trying to use the voice "male". If this is 
called as a parm with "speak", shouldn't MH map this to "frank" given 
the above MH parm?

Thanks!
Steve
