=========================================
Encoding of accented letters
----------------------------
The italian database uses the Latin1 encoding for accented characters.
If input text encoded in UTF8 fails like this:
$ echo caffè | festival --language italian --tts
11:49 <riccardo> LTS_Ruleset italian_downcase: no rule matches:
11:49 <riccardo> LTS_Ruleset: # c a f f *here* \uffff \uffff #
then you need to recode the input. Just put recode in the pipe:
echo caffè | recode utf8..lat1 | festival --language italian --tts
You can query the wanted encoding using this LISP code:
For the Italian female voice:
(or (cadr (assoc 'coding (cadr (voice.description 'lp_diphone)))) 'ISO-8859-1)
For the Italian male voice:
(or (cadr (assoc 'coding (cadr (voice.description 'pc_diphone)))) 'ISO-8859-1)
For whatever is the current voice:
(or (cadr (assoc 'coding (cadr (voice.description current-voice)))) 'ISO-8859-1)
