# Swift 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.#Use this config file with the sd_generic output module.## IMPORTANT: The audio output method relies on an audio playback# utility (play, aplay, paplay for OSS, ALSA or Pulse)# being installed. If this is not the case, consider installing it# or replace the $PLAY_COMMAND string in the GenericExecuteString below# with play, paplay or similar.## Please note that Swift software is currently *not* Free Software.#It can be purchased at www.cepstral.com.# 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 $LANGUAGE, $VOICE, $PITCH and $RATE# which will be substituted for the appropriate value (you# can modify this value, see other parameters).# The command can be split into more lines, if necessary, using '\'.GenericExecuteSynth \"echo \'$DATA\' >/tmp/swift-speak.txt && /opt/swift/bin/swift -p speech/rate=$RATE,speech/pitch/shift=$PITCH,tts/content-type=text/plain,tts/text-encoding=utf-8,config/default-voice=$VOICE -f /tmp/swift-speak.txt -o /tmp/swift-speak.wav&& $PLAY_COMMAND /tmp/swift-speak.wav"# 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.# command characters.GenericStripPunctChars "[]"# AddVoice specifies which $VOICE string should be assigned to# each language and symbolic voice name.
