so the bottom line is festival is the best option around as open source. Please tell me out of experience and general feedback, which voices should I download along with festival and from where I can get these voices. I will like to have English UK and US. further more I want to develop voices for Indian languages like Hindi, is it possible. thanks, Krishnakant. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
