The documentation for the Festival speech synthesizer says it supports English and Spanish. I installed the Debian distribution and it does in fact speak English. I tried getting it to speak a little Spanish, but I am not sure if it needs a different set of libraries or what. I thought all you had to do was call the Spanish option as in festival --tts --language spanish It doesn't like that at all. In fact, it doesn't even like festival --tts --language english I was hoping it can speak spanish since I know a little Spanish and would like to try to read some of the Spanish language news groups. The documentation has been a little skimpy on this topic so maybe I am just not reading the correct manual. Anybody who has gotten it to habla in Espaniole, please tell me how to get it to do so. Thank you very much.
