FreeTTS and Sphinx4 are both Java, so they're out. And it actually looks like FreeTTS is derived from "Flite", which is "festival-light". Hmmm. Flite may actually be what I want. My whole goal in updating is to get the "arctic" voices from <http://festvox.org/voicedemos.html> -- they're way better than the "kal" and "ked" voices that are pretty much the only option with the current package. Wonder if Flite can do that.... -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
