3. User Customization

You can customize festival-freebsoft-utils through several user variables described in the following sections. This chapter is primarily focused on Speech Dispatcher users and other users not using festival-freebsoft-utils directly. For a complete usage description see Reference Manual.

Most of the extensions presented here don't work with usual Festival functions such as SayText, which are too limited in their use. You must use either the Speech Dispatcher functions, speech-dispatcher.scm, or the event speaking functions, events.scm, to utilize the features like word substitution, capital signalling or punctuation modes.

3.1 The Concept of Events		Basic event handling.
3.2 Word Substitution		Substituting events for certain words.
3.3 Signalling Capital Characters		Capital letter signalling.
3.4 Reading Punctuation Characters		Pronouncing punctuation characters.
3.5 Avoiding Initial Pauses		Avoiding initial pauses.
3.6 Tokenization		Utterance chunking.
3.7 Voice Selection		Configuring voices and languages.
