I was just wondering if anybody else was having this problem. When I throw a full text file at festival (both commandline and kde tts) there are extremely long (10-20 seconds) between sentences and the txt file isn't that big (About two paragraphs). Any suggestions? Okay I just copied from the beginning of the paragraph I just wrote to the previous sentence into kde's tts (of course using festival.) and the gap between the first two sentences was about 15 seconds. What is going on here?
I have had this problem happen to me in the past before as well. For no reason it would pause 10 seconds or so at every period. But then sometimes it doesn't, and works normally.
The strange part is that I have never touched the configuration of Festival, and it still behaves differently at times. Perhaps a glitch?
I don't think the speed of the machine would be the problem, because if that was the case you would have a considerable delay when it actually starts reading as well, which you did not mention.
No it reads fine it's just from sentence to sentence although I must admit I do have a slow machine but like ms3fgx said if it was my machines speed I'd probably have a problem as it reads as well. But for your info my machine is a P2 333mhz 192mbram running slackware 11.0 kde
