The file is 19.6 Mb, including the MBROLA files for plain chant, and the espeak installation executive (see below). Last update 03-06-2010

This version works without internet connection, as a regular exe program. If you unzip it it will establish an Officium2010 folder, and in that officium.exe executable program. Using My Computer, make a shortcut and put it to your desktop.

It is important to leave Ahoras.ini file and horas folder in the same location. The databases are stored in horas folder together with some images and with the help files.

Voice and/or chant for the above programs

Downlod mbr folder (21.6 Mb, last updated 06-16-2009) and unzip it as sibling for OfficiumNNN or Hofficium folder, to let the program read aloud or chant the psalms and some hymns. This feature at present stage works only for windos operating systems.

For read aloud you must install setup-espeak.exe from mbr folder or downloaded from espeak stable or from espeak latest site. Install at least mb-la1 en-r and hu optional languages when asked. Additional Microsoft voices may be downloaded and install from SAPI5.1 SDK The installed voices will add automaticaly the named voice variation to SAPI5 voicelist. You may select eSpeak-HU for Latin too; the program makes the pronuntiation changes.

At this stage chanting is possible only for Latin and Magyar. For chanting part of the office MBROLA speech synthesiser is used. The necessary files are stored into mbr subfolder, but you may also install from mbrola site (click on 'download' and on the mandatory 'MBROLA binary and voices' links);

Any time after rebooting the computer the MBROLA license appears, before singing, answer 'I agree'. Regardless weather you inslall it or not, mbr folder as sibling of Officennn or Hoffice folders is necessary for approve the voice selections.

Standalone program for non Windows systems

Officium.exe program is developed to run on Windows XP Vista operating systems.

For other operating systems the appropriate perl interpreter had to be downloaded and installed first, so the program could run from the symbol source = Lofficium.pl in officiumprog folder.

In Ahoras.ini ASCII text file the first line contains the necessary reference to the database in the same folder (the content is different from the one in the root directory. Also the third line of this file had to be corrected to point to a browser program, which will be called to show the help and informatory files

Symbol files
  • starting with capital A or L are the specials for standalone version,
  • their nameshakes w/o the capital letter are the specials for the web,
  • the rest are used by both versions.

For the web horas.ini file holds the reference to the database, the default set is that officiumprog folder subfolder of the cgi-bin folder, and horas folder as is with all the subfolders is in the www folder.
