This is the Ibibio TTS system produced by the University of Uyo and Univeristy of Bielefeld. There are two tar files:

1. uyo_ibibio_eno_v1.0.tar is the Ibibio Voice distribution v1.0

2. uyo_ibibio_eno_database.tar is the voice database (also available as 10 separate tars)

All tars should be untarred from the directory where speech_tools and festival are. Here are some notes on them:

The voice untars into its own ibibio directory at the top level, except for the main scheme file, which is placed in festival/lib/voices-multisyn/ibibio/uyo_ibibio_eno_multisyn. The database tar(s) will untar into the database directory: ibibio/uyo_ibibio_eno_multisyn/db/lpc

Running the Uyo Ibibio System
--------------------------------
(a) run festival/bin/festival
(b) ignore the warnings about no voice. First load the Ibibio voice:
(voice_uyo_ibibio_eno_multisyn)
(c) once the voice has loaded you can synthesize your file by giving the command:
(SayText "text"), or any of the other festival synthesis commands
