Just a heads up, In my experiance, festival will not compile on some linux distros, my slackware 9 for example. Flite however works great, just takes a loooong time to compile and install.. then again I am using a p1 200mhz. Original Message ----------------------- Hello, I was wondering if anyone on this list could assist me in picking the right synth for redhat 9. I have downloaded and am planning on installing redhat 9, and need a software solution for now, until I can get some problems fixed in securing a dectalk express. I read the post on Aug. 23 and it was recommended to get YASR with flite and eflite, if I am not mistaken. I would appreciate to know which synth can support 16k voices and exactly what packages I need to get, as I am new to linux and the reason for me installing redhat 9 is so that I can familiarize myself with the operating system. I have heard of festival and was wondering if I need to look into that, or is eflite a substitute for festival? Thanks again, Sina _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
