# DECTalk software output module is based on the generic plugin for Speech

# Dispatcher. It means there is no C code written explicitly for

# this plugin, all the specifics are handled in this configuration

# and we call a simple command line client to perform the actual

# synthesis. Note that this is not an optimal solution, but

# it's reported to work.

#

# Please note that DECTalk software is currently *not* Free Software.

# You might want to look at Festival instead.

# GenericExecuteSynth is the shell command that should be

# executed in order to say some message. This command must

# stop saying the message on SIGKILL, otherwise it's useless.

# You can use the variables $LANG, $VOICE, $PITCH and $RATE

# which will be substituted for the appropriate value (you

# can modify this value, see other parameters).

# The command can be split into more lines, if necessary, using '\'.

# NOTE1:

# Users of previous versions of this configuration file need to rename their

# DECTalk command-line program back to `say', since speech dispatcher no

# longer installs a program with this name. Thus, the reason for

# renaming the client in the first place is gone.

# NOTE2:

# DECTalk software version 4.61 is known to occasionally stop reading,

# due to a buffering problem with the `say' program. So far, the only way

# I know of to fix this is to upgrade from DECTalk 4.61 to DECTalk 5.

# GenericStripPunctChars is a list (enclosed in doublequotes) of

# all the characters that should be replaced by whitespaces in

# order not to be badly handled by the output module or misinterpreted

# by shell.

# We need to strip `[' and `]', as these are DECTalk's

# command characters.

# AddVoice specifies which $VOICE string should be assigned to

# each language and symbolic voice name. All the voices you want

# to use must be specified here.

# NOTE:

# There is a multilingual version of DECTalk software, however I

# do not have it. Thus, only the US English voices are defined here.

# If you know about the other languages, please let us know on

# These parameters set _rate_ and _pitch_ conversion. This is

# part of the core of the definition of this generic output

# module for this concrete synthesizer, it's not intended to

# be modified by common users.

# The resulting rate (or pitch) has the form:

# 	(speechd_rate * GenericRateMultiply) + GenericRateAdd

# while speechd_rate is a value between -100 (lowest) and +100 (highest)

# You have to define some meaningful conversion for each synthesizer

# NOTE:

# Because DECTalk cannot accept float values, we must force them to be

# integers.
