Festival Speech Synthesis to audio file (ogg, mp3 , wav)

[Wade Hampton]

Use text2wav to use festival to convert text to speech in a wave file:

  echo "test 1 2 3" >test.txt
  text2wave -f 8000  -o test.wav test.txt
  play test.wav

The -f 8000 selects 8000 samples per second (try -f 16000).
Also, you can use -scale N to change the volume.

Hope this helps,
