README for PD external distribution 'pd-flite'
Last updated for version 0.01
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.
REQUIREMENTS
* 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).
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
BUILD OPTIONS
The 'configure' script supports the following options, among others:
* --with-flite-dir=DIR
Specify the base directory of the libflite distribution.
* --with-pd-dir=DIR
Specify PD base directory.
* --enable-debug , --disable-debug
Whether to enable verbose debugging messages. Default=no.
* Environment Variables
CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, etc.
See the output of './configure --help' for more options.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

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.
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.
