Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 29
- Last updated: 2018-06-18
- Tracker bug: #1592208
- Release Notes tracking: #185
Detailed Description
Festival provides capabilities for speech synthesis and a framework for synthetic voice creation. It generally provides higher quality voices than Espeak.
Benefit to Fedora
Sometime in the past, the current Festival package stopped working, more specifically segfaulting during any substantial operation. This proposes to update the Festival system to the latest upstream version which works. It also splits the huge Festival spec in to more manageable, smaller specifications. And, it adds a few more english voices, along with some indic voices as well.
