That's great. Sound like you have tried Flite on teh StrongARM architecture. What is this eflite? How much memory do the speech libraries for flite take up? You must ahev heard of a Linux PDA in themaking from India. IT is called the Simputer. It has been designed with speech as primary outout but the pain is that its primary input is a touch screen. However we hope that they will get a variant with a keypad. They have targeted computing in Indian languages. So they don; t yet have an englih synth implemented on it. Simputer alsouses the Strong ARM processor. If flite is being ported to ARM it is good news for us.
