So I'm running KDE settings, in kttsmgr.
I go add Talker, and try to add a swift talker:
/opt/swift/bin/swift -p "speech/rate=180" %t -o %w
..per the instructions here, which I suspect are out of date.
But when I go OK, it says invalid talker and wipes the settings.
How can I make Text to speech in KDE use the cepstral speech engine ?

Does that command work from the command line (if you replace
%twith the text and omit-o %w) – Paul – 2012-09-11T03:09:44.450yes, but of course you have to change the %w to a file name to write to like tmp.wav .. and %t to the text you want to speak out loud. I thought it might be the "speech marks" but removing that part didn't help. I think that the latest kde needs some api backends rather than just allowing shell commands. – matiu – 2012-09-11T06:41:28.367
