Festival Speech Synthesis Issue

[Asa S]

My computer has just crashed in the middle of working on the errors section of the assignment, and on reboot it appears to have changed some parameter of Festival such that whenever I synthesize segments of any length, it plays back in <0.5 seconds. I’ve tried going through the Getting Started and Step-by-Step sections again, as well as altering the Duration_stretch parameter, but the playback is still inaudibly fast. When I export as a .wav file the audio plays as expected, so I think it must be something to do with Festival’s speech production system.

Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Did you try this?

I did not see this when I was looking through the forum, thank you! Looks like things are being produced as normal, though I did just end up listening to the saved .wav files last night.
