txt2pho and mbrola install howto

Mbrola is a multilingual speech synthesizer. This describes how to use mbrola to generate german-speaking text to speech. First you need to download the mbrola-binary and a voice as well as txt2pho, the German TTS front end for the MBROLA synthesizer.

Download the following files from the mbrola website:

http://tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis/mbrola.html

download the mbrola binary and a voice. A recommended voice is this

install mbrola binary

mkdir /usr/local/mbrola

cp mbr301h.zip /usr/local/mbrola/

unzip mbr301h.zip

ln -s mbrola-linux-i386 mbrola

ln -s /usr/local/mbrola/mbrola /usr/bin/mbrola

install the voices:

mkdir /usr/local/mbrola/voices

cd /usr/local/mbrola/voices/

cp your_path_to_downloaded_file/de7.zip .

Mkdir de7

cp de7.zip de7

unzip de7.zip

 

install txt2pho:

Download txt2pho from

 

cp txt2pho.zip /usr/local/

cd /usr/local

unzip txt2pho.zip

ln -s /usr/local/txt2pho/txt2pho /usr/bin/

cp /usr/local/txt2pho/txt2phorc /etc/txt2pho

txt2pho will not work if you do not adjust the DATAPATH and the INVPATH to /usr/local/txt2phi/data in /etc/txt2pho

that's it!

Example commands:

(send to file)

echo "hallo, wie geht du ?" | txt2pho | mbrola /usr/local/mbrola/voices/de7/de7 - /tmp/test.wav

(send to /dev/dsp)

echo 'wärmer wärmer wärmerwärmer '.$cam1_string | txt2pho -f | mbrola /usr/local/mbrola/voices/de1/de1 - -- > /dev/dsp
