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

Can you try the mod_tts_commandline way of doing it? The wiki talks about using Cepstral IIRC.

Just wondering if you have had any luck in resolving this issue.

We are running Cent 5.5 on FreeSWITCH Version 1.0.head (git-8825b6e
2010-11-28 17-15-39 -0500) with Cepstral 5.1 with the Callie voice.

We have good audio for a short period of time, then suddenly the audio
is gone. Watching the logs, it show that it is trying to play the
correct TTS, but it is silent.

We have tried to unload and reload mod_cepstral, but the only way we
have been able to restore the audio is with a FreeSWITCH restart.

These voices sound good, but with these issues, it is really not useable.

Any Ideas? Thanks
