hello, I am Krishnakant Mane from India. I have not been in touch with the linux accessibility related issues. I am in the process of doing a project related to speach under linux. I will like to know the latest information on the following. 1. are there any good quality software synthesizers for linux right now apart from flite. I want to know if there is a software speach synthesizer with proper voice like ibm viavoice and not like flite. I will like to know that if I am using festival andfestvox, can I create good voices with proper inflection and pronounciation. I have used flite and eflite with yasr and am not satisfied with the speach output. if there are no free software synthes available then what are the other options. if I decide to use the freetts made in java, I will like to know if I can have better voices. 2.what is the latest status of nopernicus, is it ready for prime timeuse. please provide details on the above points. thanks, Krishnakant. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
