- # Espeak 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. Use this config file with the sd_generic output module.
- #
- # IMPORTANT: The audio output method relies on ALSA Player (aplay)
- # being installed. If this is not the case, consider installing it
- # or replace the aplay command in the GenericExecuteString below
- # with play or similar.
- #
- # GenericExecuteString to what's the name of this utility on your
- # system (it might be "speak")
-
- # 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 '\'.

- # The following three items control punctuation levels None, Some, and All.
- # Each of these values will be substituted into the $PUNCT variable depending

- # Note that if an empty string is specified, then $PUNCT will be blank

- # These parameters set _rate_, _pitch_, and _volume_ 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
-
- # Here's the mapping from SSIP (Speech Dispatcher) to ESpeak (v1.10):
- #
- # SSIP Range SSIP Default ESpeak Range ESpeak Default
- # ----------- ------------ ------------ --------------
- # Rate -100 to 100 0 80 to 320 160
- # Pitch -100 to 100 0 0 to 99 50
- # Volume -100 to 100 0 0 to 20 10
- #
- # The SSIP defaults are actually controlled via DefaultRate, DefaultPitch, and
- # DefaultVolume in the speechd.conf file.
-
- GenericRateAdd 160
- GenericPitchAdd 50
- GenericVolumeAdd 10
-
- # (These values are multiplied by 100, because DotConf currently
- # doesn't support floats. So you can write 0.85 as 85 and so on.)
-
- GenericRateMultiply 160
- GenericPitchMultiply 50
- GenericVolumeMultiply 10
-
- # If the client program can't handle floats, you will have to
- # use these two options to force integers as the parameters
- # 1 means force integers, 0 means do nothing (write floats).
-
- GenericRateForceInteger 1
- GenericPitchForceInteger 1
- GenericVolumeForceInteger 1

- # Note that SSIP rates < -50 are spoken at -50.
