README for PD external distribution 'pd-flite'
Last updated for version 0.01
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The 'pd-flite' distribution contains a single PD external ("flite"),
which provides a high-level text-to-speech interface for English based on
the 'libflite' library by Alan W Black and Kevin A. Lenzo.
Currently tested only under linux.
=head1 REQUIREMENTS
=over 4
=item * libflite >= v1.1
The 'libflite' library by Alan W Black and Keven A. Lenzo
is required to build the PD 'flite' external.
It is available from http://cmuflite.org.
You may want to apply the patch 'libflite-noaudio.patch'
which comes with this distribution to the 'libflite'
sources before compiling them (the '--with-audio=none'
configure flag did not work for me on its own).
=back
=head1 INSTALLATION
First, build and install the libflite distribution.
Then, issue the following commands to the shell:
cd PACKAGENAME-X.YY (or wherever you extracted this distribution)
./configure
make
make install
=head1 BUILD OPTIONS
The 'configure' script supports the following options, among others:
=over 4
=item * --with-flite-dir=DIR
Specify the base directory of the libflite distribution.
=item * --with-pd-dir=DIR
Specify PD base directory.
=item * --enable-debug , --disable-debug

=head1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
PD by Miller Puckette and others.
Flite run-time speech synthesis library by Alan W Black
and Kevin A. Lenzo.
Ideas, black magic, and other nuggets of information drawn
from code by Guenter Geiger, Larry Troxler, and iohannes m zmoelnig.
=head1 KNOWN BUGS
It gobbles memory, and also processor time on synthesis operations.
No support for alternative voices or lexica, and no
mid- or low-level interface to the libflite functions.
