Hello everyone, I am presently working on speech synthesis/speech to text on Ubuntu 10.04. So far I've been using festival but I discovered espeak which is also cool by reading other people's previous questions and answers. My main goal is to develop a communication system whereby festival or espeak can speak to the end user and also can be paused/temporarily stopped if given a command from the user. I know that while using the interactive section of festival, one can pause using ctrl+z but I want another means to pause festival from my python code. I'll give a brief example: --from my code festival is given a file to read:- less example.txt | festival --tts (so it starts reading the file) --then from my code, I want to give a command that will pause festival... --thereafter, from my code, I want to continue running festival from where it stopped reading. Please anyone who has a clue to this will make my day. Thanks in advance!
