[Freeswitch-users] cepstral problem

[phone.bytes]

okay MC, mod_tts_commandline has run for a several days without a 
problem.  Good.

However, now we are trying to get this to speak from a text file instead 
of putting text on the command line.
Cepstral Swift has a -f option to do this, but it does not work here.

I have looked through the source, and am wondering if this is not 
supported in this mod.

Here is a partial trace that I think supports my conclusions below.

It seems to almost build the swift command correctly.  However, the -f 
options is inside the single quotes, instead of outside of them like the 
-o (output file) is.

I don't think it is finding the .txt file, as the log later shows that 
it is trying to speak the filename including the -f option, instead of 
the contents of the file.

What do you think?

Thanks
