Espeak was the first I tried and it had essentially the same voice
problem, someone mentioned Orca and I went off on another tangent. it
too is unintelligible on my system. I should try Espeak again but I
suspect Orca is a variation of the same program, the items offered for
configuration are similar if not the same it appears ...
more to think about, thanks, Bob
I once used text to speech alerts for things that needed immediate
attention (server room overtemp, file server or satellite receiver
gone offline). It was cheaper than a pager and no paperwork was
required. At the time, festival had better voices than espeak (and
festival currently has a Fedora package).
[Note for anyone thinking about getting involved with earth observation
satellites -- avoid sensors that don't require daylight and you will get
to keep more normal working hours.]
