Maybe all they need to do is recompile it. Maybe they have to tweek a few things. Even if it takes a programmer a few weeks to fix it, I would think that wouldn't put too much of a drag on the resources of a company the size of IBM. And maybe they don't know how much trouble they've caused us blind folks. I know IBM has a history of taking accessibility issues seriously. And they're supposed to be committed to linux.
Maybe it would help if several of us wrote. Any opinions?

Viavoice is no longer supported and uses obsolete libraries -- if you don't like festival you have two choices:
You can use Freetts which is written in Java so you would have to fool with that and Freetts does not have indexing, or you could buy the Dectalk runtime for Linux and gnopernicus will talk with that.
I haven't tried it, but I think yasr will talk with that, too.
