No.  I guess its :

q { hello world! }
d

Where the q is for queue, and takes arguments in brackets { }.

And d means to the speech server to speak the queued text.

Problem installing Eflite

[Nathalie VIELMAS]

Hi all,

Today I tried to install Eflite, the speech server for Emacspeak using
flite. The compilation and the installation seem to be good but when I
try to test I don't hear anything. I type ./eflite following by "enter".
then I can read three lines :
socket initializing
allocating more memory
accepting connection
then the cursor is here and I suppose I must type something. In the
INSTALL file it is said to type this is a test but before and after this
words there are characters that I don't know how to type. Before the
sentence it seems that we must type "q" and after we must type "d". I
don't understand very well what to type exactly. To exit I type ctrl+c.
I didn't here anything.
In the INSTALL file it is also said that we must have a file called
es.conf but I don't have this file on my hard disk.
As someone herre ever tried to install and use eflite and if so could
you help me ?
Thanks in advance.


Nath

Hi Nathalie,

On a qwerty keyboard, the characters mentioned in the INSTALL file that
surround the text are typed by holding down shift and pressing [ and ],
respectively.  Perhaps you are using a different keyboard layout, however.

In theory, EFlite can also be tested by passing in a file of commands, but
this does not work in the released version because it does not wait for
the speech to finish speaking before exiting.  I have just modified it to
ensure that all speech is spoken before it exits and have committed my
changes to cvs.  I also added a test file, and, in the cvs version, it is
now possible to type "make test" after building EFlite, and a message will
be spoken.

In any case, if you have gotten Festival Lite to work and EFlite builds,
then it is likely that your EFlite binary will work.
