Yes, text2wav as well as 'festival --tts' seem to pick up the Festival
default voice. I've done some more playing and it seems that sound_play
sometimes gets it right and sometimes not. For example, the kal_diphone
voice is the one that sounds very low (bass) and slow. But sound_play
does OK with don_diphone and rab_diphone even though they don't sound
exactly like they do when playing through Festival direclty. I also
tried the the Finnish voice suo_fi_lj_diphone which plays fine in
Festival but rather low and slow like kal_diphone when using sound_play.
And thanks Moritiz for the pointer to other voices. For now I just want
something that can be understood and won't scare the cats. ;-) Either
don_diphone or rab_diphone should do the trick.
