2 The Festival Speech Synthesis System
3 version 2.4 December 2014
4
5This directory contains the Festival Speech Synthesis System,
6developed at CSTR, University of Edinburgh. The project was originally
7started by Alan W Black and Paul Taylor but many others have been
8involved (see ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS file for full list).
9
10Festival offers a general framework for building speech synthesis
11systems as well as including examples of various modules. As a whole
12it offers full text to speech through a number APIs: from shell level,
13though a Scheme command interpreter, as a C++ library, and an Emacs
14interface. Festival is multi-lingual (currently English (US and UK)
15and Spanish are distributed but a host of other voices have been
16developed by others) though English is the most advanced.
17
18The system is written in C++ and uses the Edinburgh Speech Tools
19for low level architecture and has a Scheme (SIOD) based command
20interpreter for control. Documentation is given in the FSF texinfo
21format which can generate, a printed manual, info files and HTML.
22
23COPYING
24
25Festival is free. Earlier versions were restricted to non-commercial
26use but we have now relaxed those conditions. The licence is an X11
27style licence thus it can be incorporated in commercial products
28and free source products without restriction. See COPYING for the
29actual details.

31INSTALL
32
33Festival should run on any standard Unix platform. It has already run
34on Solaris, SunOS, Linux and FreeBSD. It requires a C++ compiler (GCC
352.7.2, 2.8.1, 2.95.[123], 3.2.3 3.3.2 RedHat "gcc-2.96", gcc 3.3, gcc
364.4.x and gcc-4.5.x are our standard compilers) to install. A port to
37Windows XP/NT/95/98 and 2000 using either Cygnus GNUWIN32, this is
38still new but many people are successfully using it.
