While a lot of the tradition of PIAF is based around Centos, and noting that "Mister TTS" (Zaf) is a Debian devotee, I also note that Incredible Pi is, of course, on a debian platform and as such a number of things arent there by default (such as yum – which is part of most of the installs (of Festival etc). Can one safely assume that one can just install yum on one’s PI, and all will work – or not…

[WM: That’d be a NOT. Sorry.]

Slight Technical Correction – The writeup says that "The good news is, if you’re running Incredible PBX 11, you already have it." I am taking it, that IncrediblePBX 11 equates to the most recent Incredible Pi that I installed just a few days ago.

There are a couple of required parts to this /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/googletts.agi (which is where it is expected), and var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/googletts-cli.pl which then gets copied to another directory. It would appear that in the Pi distribution, this second file wasn’t included – it isn’t in this directory, or the ultimate destination directory. One needs to go to Zafiris’ distribution kit to get a copy.

[WM: Thanks. I’ll add it to "the list."]
