sudo python setup.pyto install and configure SoX, Festival, and oggenc.
- NOTE: During the install process, setup.py will download and install packages, and install new Festival voices.
Simply edit voxwordlist.txt and announcements.txt to taste, and run generate.sh.
Sounds encoded will end up in the sounds directory, alongside a cache directory and a tmp directory. Pauses and beeps/bloops will NOT be generated.
If words come out incorrectly pronounced, add the word to lexicon.txt following the guide at the top of the file. This will generate the required LISP script for you.
Simply edit voxwords.txt or announcements.txt and add the desired phrase:
wordfile = This is a sample phrase that will be saved to wordfile.ogg
To test a phrase as though it were from in-game, run:
play sounds/{sarah,connor,report,to,medbay,for,health,inspection}.ogg
If it's a single letter, add it to the voxwords.txt as a = A.
