Thanks for doing all that investigative work! Guess I’ll stick to the lab computers then…

Just re-reading your last reply a bit more carefully and yes, perhaps I’m about to discover all the issues you’ve had!

[Dan L]

I used `sudo apt install festival` and it pretty much worked straight away I believe. There is an issue in that the setup.sh file contains university server paths which we’ll need to swap out for local paths. I haven’t got to that yet which is preventing me from really playing with it. But out of the box, Festival appears to be creating speech from the default voice no bother.

I’ll answer my own question – it worked perfectly and seems to install all the required dependencies. I would say it’s definitely worth updating the documentation with this info. It was quick and easy.

Did you have to install the Edinburgh Speech Tools Library separately? Or did the package manager version include all necessary dependencies?

Thanks.
