Where to download Festival TTS voice - text-to-speech

Where can I download the voices available in Festival demo page?

If you are using Ubuntu Linux, detailed instructions on how to install other voices are here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=677277.
The instructions could be transferable to other Linux versions.

An other perharps useful resource is here for MBROLA / CMU / HTS voices.
Note that not all the available voices work with Festival 2.4 and some are only compatible with version 2.1. This seems to be the case for the Nitech HTS voices, probably the best ones available. The CMU voices are a good compromise though.

The link for downloading Windows tools is dead.
https://github.com/Ai-Thinker-Open/GPRS_CSDTK
And I tried to build it on ubuntu 16 follow this link
https://ai-thinker-open.github.io/GPRS_C_SDK_DOC/en/c-sdk/installation_linux.html
But there is no option for 8955 chip in CoolWatcher burner. It just has 8808, 8808s, 8809, 8810, 8810-AP, Gallite-8805, Gallite-8806.
So can I add 8955 into CoolWatcher manually? What are the good alternative GPS module which have tools to change the firmware directly? Did chinese AI thinker company dead?
Thanks!

Is Chaincoder IDE Compatible with Ubuntu 18.04?

I am learning hyperledger fabric and want to use an IDE for the same.While searching about it in google, i came across Chaincoder IDE, But according to the website, its only available for Windows 10(Pro or Enterprise) and MacOs. I am working in Ubuntu 18.04 so i want to know will it work in Ubuntu or not ?
The website is clear
There is an exe for Windows
a Zip for Macos
So no available version for Linux.
Downloading it was enough to answer your question.

NW.js chrome.gcm. API doesn't work

I have chrome packaged app, and there I use GCM.
NW.js said that they will continue to support chrome APIs in this article, but I can't get a registration ID when using chrome.gcm.register.
Any news about this? Is this API still supported?
As mentioned in Transitioning from Chrome apps on Windows, Mac, and Linux, Chrome packaged and hosted apps will remain supported and maintained for the foreseeable future on Chrome OS only. It was stated further:
Chrome packaged and hosted apps will be discontinued on Windows, Mac, and Linux over the course of now and early 2018. For more information, refer to the August 2016 Chromium blog post.
For this concern, please try going through the given documentation above for the recommended migration options for packaged apps.
Solution is to use --enable-gcm flag in command line.
Example(OS X):
open -n -a nwjs --args --enable-gcm /path/to/app/

ps3 applications development [duplicate]

can anyone tell what to do develop ps3 applications (or) games after we install linux on ps3.
and other thing is that can we develop ps3 games on window platform for that what tools needed,its little bit of confusing.
can anyone clarify this?
Currently, the only legitimate way to develop for the Play Station 3 is to buy the development kit and a license from Sony. Recent hacks enable homebrew applications but there's currently only Sony's leaked SDK - building applications with this would probably be illegal.
A Homebrew SDK is in the works, but you would not be able to distribute your applications or games through official methods using this SDK.
To compile homebrew on Windows, you will likely need to use Cygwin and an available PS3 Tool Chain. It's unlikely that a compiler will exist or even be made for Windows, but Cygwin should allow you to emulate the linux tools available.
In summary, if you want to do it legit then you need a license and a dev kit from Sony. If you're just doing it for fun then I suggest you use Google to find more information on PS3 homebrew development.
See the Wikipedia page on OtherOS for some basic information and plenty of pointers. Beware that you're going to be restricted in what you can do, Linux does not have access to the full machine.
I am by no means an expert - but:
To develop PS3 games you need a PS3 developer kit. Afaik it can't be done simply by installing linux on a PS3. The developer kit is licensed from Sony and - to the best of my knowledge - require some kind of license payment and/or approval process as an official PS3 developer/house.
Sony released a small home-development kit, including a keyboard, mouse and harddrive for the old (non-slim) PlayStation 2 back in the day. That kit was linux driven and contained libraries to utilize graphics and controllers. The last I heard that idea was scrapped by Sony.
There was a method to install another OS on the PS3, and a lot of people installed Linux. Look through your docs (and maybe on the web) for "PS3 OtherOS" or "PS3 Other OS". Unfortunately Sony has recently removed the ability to install another OS, so you need a unit that hasn't had a recent firmware update.
Installing Linux means you have (most of) the system at your hands.
As far as I know, you need an official Development Kit from Sony in order to develop games for the PS3. I believe it does run in a modified Linux environment, but I cannot confirm this for sure (perhaps we have someone on SO who develops PS3 titles and can fill us in?)
You'll need a PS3 dev kit to do it properly. While one used to be able to install Linux on the PS3, it's a feature that has now been disabled. Even if you do manage to find a PS3 that is still able to accept Linux you'll be using a largely divergent API (from what commecial PS3 games are built on) and you wont' have access to many of the more powerful graphical functionality.
While you can build a game largely on Windows you'll need to port it property to run on PS3. You can't just hit compile on Windows and have it run on the PS3.
Although this is an old thread, I see that no one has yet mentioned an alternative option that has been available for both PlayStation 3 (and later) and Xbox One (and later) from the very beginning: Blu-ray Disc Java, abbreviated BD-J.
These consoles feature a Blu-ray Player, and all Blu-ray players can run JavaME as part of the Blu-ray specification. This means you can actually code games and apps with JavaME, and run it on these game consoles from the very same disc.
So if you're just looking to create some homebrew games for fun, then BD-J is a very attractive option. Because:
you can run your homebrew games on many gaming consoles from the very same disc
there's no expensive SDK to buy, you simply code JavaME in whatever IDE you want
there's no approval process, you just create your own disc and make the ISO downloadable
Here's a few YouTube example videos of various BD-J Xlets running on PS3, showing that the platform is quite capable of running homebrew stuff:
