Here's the whole set of viavoice for linux files > http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~laird/Linux/ViaVoice/ This might be your last chance to grab them, they have been nowhere to be found on the net for a while already, except the dictation runtime, which is still on the IBM site. The sdks and the text to speech (TTS) stuff is no longer on the IBM site. Grab them now while you still can. Festival is free but viavoice is nice sounding and probably the best recognition tools available on linux. -- Doug
