class aeneas.ttswrappers.festivalttswrapper.FESTIVALTTSWrapper(rconf=None, logger=None)

A wrapper for the Festival TTS engine.

This wrapper supports calling the TTS engine via subprocess or via Python C++ extension.

Warning

The C++ extension call is experimental and probably works only on Linux at the moment.

In abstract terms, it performs one or more calls like

$ echo text | text2wave -eval "(language_italian)" -o output_file.wav

To use this TTS engine, specify

"tts=festival"

in the RuntimeConfiguration object. To execute from a non-default location:

"tts=festival|tts_path=/path/to/wave2text"

See BaseTTSWrapper for the available functions. Below are listed the languages supported by this wrapper.

Parameters:

• rconf (RuntimeConfiguration) – a runtime configuration
• logger (Logger) – the logger object
