Description

from the authors:

The Festival Speech Synthesis System is a general multi-lingual text-to-speech system for Unix platforms. It is written in C++ and includes a Scheme-based scripting language. Included with Festival are lexicons and voices that together form a whole text-to-speech system.

For output via esd do:

(Parameter.set 'Audio\_Method 'esdaudio)

NAS and direct output are documented in section 23 of the users' manual.

If you need the OGI extensions, install ports/audio/festival+OGI instead.

Message after installing

You need to install at least one festvox-* package before festival can
do anything other than mumble silently to itself.  See the festival
package description, the festdoc package (share/doc/festival/*),
or the festival home page for more information.
