Flite 2.0 for OS X

Basically a copy of the Flite 2.0 TTS engine, but with the Makefile fixed so it'll compile on OS X.

CMU made Flite, see more here: http://www.festvox.org/flite/

How to compile

First, you'll need the XCode Command Line Tools if you don't already have them installed.

Then:

  1. Clone the repo to your own machine
  2. Then do ./configure
  3. Followed by make
  4. And then finally make install

You should now be able to run flite from your command line. Try:

flite -voice rms "Hello humans." -o test.wav && afplay test.wav

To generate a .wav file with the output, and then play it via afplay. For some reason directly routing the audio to the soundcard doesn't work for me.
