In iSpeak (using festival), is there any way to switch language/voice through rpc?
In festival you can get a list, then set one:

festival> (voice.list)
(kal_diphone JuntaDeAndalucia_es_pa_diphone)
festival> (voice_kal_diphone)      
kal_diphone

Thanks!

Hi @jgvictores
Nope, I don't think so.

Consider that festival is about to be deprecated in favor of more recent packages, for which we have already this functionality implemented.

You could add this feature yourself and open a PR.

Hi @pattacini
Could you point me to a more recent package, for which it this functionality has already been implemented?

Sure, have a look at this recent PR: #11.
