- I tried to compile it as well. moving the *.c.00 files to *.c helps a
- lot. Then you have to make sure that cc finds the audio library
- libaudio.a and some of the SUN audio include files are in the right
- place (either change the code or move the includes), check for al the
- multimedia/*.h includes.
-
- klatt itself doesn't produce any output for me either, but I didn't
- check that too carefully. But uklatt hello.par mumbles "hello, my name
- is". With gen you can compose phonemes into longer structures (with a
- lot of pauses), however not all phonemes are listed. Check lex.yy.c for
- a complete listing.
- I didn't find any part doing the text to phoneme translation, and I
- wasn't really impressed with the quality, but maybe somebody can
- enlighten us as to how to tune the parameters etc.
-
- Hope that helps
