[VoIP] Cepstral Help

[Lee Spenadel]

I scoured their website and didn't see this.  It's not precompiled code,
I've tweaked it to run on Asterisk as opposed to PBX in a Flash.  I've gone
through the scripts and saw no references to the swift application and no
references to voices.

 From their web site:

  * How do I select a new default voice for command-line swift?

To select the default voice for Swift in Linux, set the environment  
variable "SWIFT_DEFAULT_VOICE" to the name of the desired voice. For  
example:

export SWIFT_DEFAULT_VOICE=David

To save this environment variable between terminal sessions, add the  
above line to your home directory's .bash_profile file.



Now, keep in mind that this is all relative to the user running  
"swift".  If it runs as the webserver, then you have some more  
fiddling around to do.

I seem to recall that the default voice is either the first or the  
most-recent voice installed.  You could try un-installing and  
re-installing the voices in a different order as well.

It seems odd that you can't tell your program what voice to use.  Is  
this a pre-compiled binary that you can't edit?
