Festival Speech Synthesis System: - Speech Resource Pages

A simpler C only interface example is given inf `festival/examples/festival_client.c'. That
interface talks to a festival server. The code does not require linking with any other EST or Festival code so is much
smaller and easier to include in other programs. The code is missing some functionality but not much consider how
much smaller it is.

28.6 Java and JSAPI
Initial support for talking to a Festival server from java is included from version 1.3.0 and initial JSAPI support is
included from 1.4.0. At present the JSAPI talks to a Festival server elsewhere rather than as part of the Java process
itself.
A simple (Pure) Java festival client is given
`festival/src/modules/java/cstr/festival/Client.java' with a wraparound script in
`festival/bin/festival_client_java'.
See the file `festival/src/modules/java/cstr/festival/jsapi/ReadMe' for requirements and a
small example of using the JSAPI interface.

29. Examples
This chapter contains some simple walkthrough examples of using Festival in various ways, not just as speech
synthesizer
29.1 POS Example Using Festival as a part of speech tagger
29.2 Singing Synthesis Using Festival for singing

29.1 POS Example
This example shows how we can use part of the standard synthesis process to tokenize and tag a file of text. This
section does not cover training and setting up a part of speech tag set See section 16. POS tagging, only how to go
about using the standard POS tagger on text.
This example also shows how to use Festival as a simple scripting language, and how to modify various methods
used during text to speech.
The file `examples/text2pos' contains an executable shell script which will read arbitrary ascii text from
standard input and produce words and their part of speech (one per line) on standard output.
A Festival script, like any other UNIX script, it must start with the the characters #! followed by the name of the
`festival' executable. For scripts the option -script is also required. Thus our first line looks like
#!/usr/local/bin/festival -script
