Yes, I made it pull in festvox-sdl-arctic-hts as a hard requirement. That way that's guaranteed. (Maybe in the future this could use "Recommends:" instead of "Requires".) The package actually will work as long as any one of the voices is installed. Well, it'll work to some degree with no voices at all, if you just want to use it as a Scheme interpreter. > > Probably somewhere better than "System Tools" -- "Sound and Video", > > maybe? > Text-to-speech doesn't sound right for sound and video.
