The problem I see is that it can only read if is less than 6 or 7 rows of text if you select more then it will stop after usually few words with message === PAUSE ===
It seems a limitation or a bug on festival not sure just started to use this.
If you know any program that is able to feed festival with no more than it can eat but still alow me to select more than just a few rows or have a larger txt file to read from.
@electrodacus if you pipe the information 99.9% of the time it will read the whole article ... i use it to read my rss feeds ... this problem/bug only occurs only on certain versions of linux ... mainly after ubuntu 9 ... it's reported on the ubuntu bug site ... unfortunately i cant resolve this issue ... if festival hangs or the speech starts slowing down / distorting try :
killall psound
you might have to run this a few times for it to clear all instances of the tts playback
@hakology wow i just found out on my system i had to kill something called aplay.. i was looking at my cpu cycles in top. and i found it. when i killed it, the tts from festival played about 5 copies at a time.. wow what bug.. I'll try and find a solution. i am on latest 11.10 ubuntu 64bit
@aphixe darren kitchen has posted a video on hak5 based on this episode check my wtf transistors vid for the link @ the end .... you need to edit 2lines in the config .... im doing a part 2 for this have another neat tts trick up my sleeve hehe :) will get it online asap
Nice script. I used to copy all thing to festival console. ubuntuforums t=751169 is broken, else we would get natural sound. Specially Nitech HTS and CMU Arctic. They break with every version.
Works perfect, now i need to fine tune festival.

@hakology Thanks, I was using Ubuntu 11 both .04 and .10 and the same problem but If I convert to wav file there is no limitation so is a bit strange.
Anyway I lost my interest for now I have other priorities :) but thanks for the info.
