Can you explain please wat exactly is Festival doing? I understand that the screen reader takes the text from the screen, then pass it to the sinthesizer and it speaks the text. Am I missing something? Thanks.

Well what about the festival synth? I tried to install a debian package myself but i did'nt succeed with it. It started but it never talked. I tried it out with brltty. /Anders. ----- Ursprungligt meddelande ----- Från: "Mario Lang" <mlang@teleweb.at> Till: <blinux-list@redhat.com> Skickat: den 19 maj 2002 01:23 Ämne: Re: SV: Software Synths Under Linux > "Kristoffer Gustafsson" <kristoffer.gustafsson@telia.com> writes: > > > Hello! > > if you want a free speech synthesizer you can have try with mbrola. > > i think that you can find it somewhere on the blinux file archive. > Mbrola didn't get very stable, I checked again now, and its still version 1.4beta > which I tested in 99 back then. > > -- > CYa, > Mario > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Blinux-list@redhat.com > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
