The next question is are these new voices going to be easier to set up
and use than mbrolla?
One computer I can run kali on the other not. The difference is I have
a proper monitor data cable for only one computer and no cable for the
second computer and kali makes no post-install accessibility provision
for no monitor connected by default even if no monitor is detected
during installation. In that, kali resembles its relatives though so
this is a wider problem than just kali.

Interesting feedback. I don't know what's for English, but for French
mbrola has some "belgium" accent, sometimes hard to understand. And few
prosody. So Kali is an improvement as more understandable. But maybe
it's less true in English.

It sounds a lot like MBROLA. Good, but it's been done before.

Hi,
Here are English samples:

Tom :

They have no settings here, it's "raw". Orca can suit voices according
to typical parameters in Preferences, and Kalinux.ini enables to set
prosody.
To have new languages, let's see 1st how the community sees this
product. Given that the tts itself isn't free software, doing this would
include to collaborate with university. Possible, but anyway (even if it
becomes free software in some years)it has a cost (about 60000 euros per
language). The technique used is not trivial: recording human voices on
some significant text/sounds, then processing to create appropriate
algorithms. It's a big work with skills in linguistic and signal
processing, but if we have success with Kali, we'll be able to pay for
additional languages indeed.

Hi,
We are proud announcing release of Kali for GNU/Linux. It includes:
- three French speaking voices: Patrick, Michel and Guillemette;
- two French speaking voices: Tom and Rosalind.
Kali is slight, understandable and fast, nearly natura-speaking.
You can
set usual parameters, and also prosody. With Orca, you can decide to
affect a voice according to what you're reading: link, uppercase
word,
regular word.
I tried and felt as if I had a new screen reader! You can test a
45-minutes demonstration release on-demand. If you want to install it
forever, xou can buy it for 85 euros. It is the balance between
quality,
wise cost, for a product manufactured by people who are casy to be
contacted for any improvement, although the program is not free. Of
course, Hypra provides the product with suitable speech-dispatcher
module, which is being shipped upstream as a free program.
Any feedback or test request is welcome. Here's samples:
