FreeTTS is a Java rewrite of Festival basicly. I find it to be a tad more responsive than Festival, but not as responcive as flite. you can find it at http://freetts.sourceforge.net > Hi. I know others have fiddled with the CVS snapshots of Gnopernicus. > The Gnome-speech documentation states that it currently supports Festival, > IBM Viavoice, and FreeTTS. I've never heard of FreeTTS. Has anybody > tried it? Does it sound halfway decent? Is it easier to build than > Festival? I'd like to play with Gnopernicus to see what state it is in, > but the last time I attempted to build Festival, I got so confused that I > gave up. I'm not too keen on Viavoice since it's pretty much abandoned. > If nobody has heard of FreeTTS, has anybody built Festival on Slackware 9 > and actually used it?
