Do Cepstral voices work in KDE?
Yes, it’s possible to integrate our voices into the KTTS text-to-speech system present in KDE 3.4 or later. First, select KTTS from the KDE menu or run kttsmgr from the command line to open the configuration manager. In the Talkers tab, click the Add button to add a new voice. Now, select the “Show All” option for synthesizers, choose the Command synthesizer, and click OK. You’ll now be asked to choose a language. Select anything here, as it will be ignored. Finally, it’s time to specify the swift command to run. To speak using the default voice, use: swift %t -o %w If you want a specific voice, use the -n switch like this: swift %t -o %w -n Isabelle You’ll also want to select Latin1 as the character set. Click OK, then Apply to set the current voice. Your voice should now work in any KDE app that uses KTTS.
