Emacspeak's exception dictionaries are implemented in the emacspeak layer, not in the speech server. So though yasr will work with the emacspeak TTS server for Viavoice (AKA TTSynth) that wont give you exception dictionaries. That said, you'll get good quality output and if you're running an ALSA capable system, it'll let you use TTS in conjunction with other apps that play sound e.g. mp3 players. >>>>> "Hart" == Hart Larry <chime@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> writes: Hart> Well, last week I did purchase this IBM TTS, as I do Hart> like this eliquence type of speech.
