Festival Speech Synthesis System: - Speech Resource Pages

EST_String sylname = "";
Now we iterate through the SylStructure daughters of the syllable. These will be the segments in that syllable.
for (seg=daughter1(syl,"SylStructure"); seg; seg=next(seg))
sylname += seg->name();
Finally we set the syllables name to the concatenative name, and loop to the next syllable.
syl->set_name(sylname);
}
Finally we return the LISP form of the utterance.
return utt;

27.2.3 Example 3: adding new directories
In this example we will add a whole new subsystem. This will often be a common way for people to use Festival. For
example let us assume we wish to add a formant waveform synthesizer (e.g like that in the free `rsynth'
program). In this case we will add a whole new sub-directory to the modules directory. Let us call it `rsynth/'.
In the directory we need a `Makefile' of the standard form so we should copy one from one of the other
directories, e.g. `Intonation/'. Standard methods are used to identify the source code files in a `Makefile'
so that the `.o' files are properly added to the library. Following the other examples will ensure your code is
integrated properly.
We'll just skip over the bit where you extract the information from the utterance structure and synthesize the
waveform (see `donovan/donovan.cc' or `diphone/diphone.cc' for examples).
To get Festival to use your new module you must tell it to compile the directory's contents. This is done in
`festival/config/config'. Add the line
ALSO_INCLUDE += rsynth
to the end of that file (there are simialr ones mentioned). Simply adding the name of the directory here will add that
as a new module and the directory will be compiled.
What you must provide in your code is a function festival_DIRNAME_init() which will be called at
initialization time. In this function you should call any further initialization require and define and new Lisp functions
you with to made available to the rest of the system. For example in the `rsynth' case we would define in some
file in `rsynth/'
