Hi, OK...couple questions on getting this running (thanks for the instructions): 1. After the kernel is compiled, to start festival daemon, you use what command? I seem to have festival installed, but I haven't had much cause to use it. 2. Have you tried to use it with flite--and does it work? (www.cmuflite.org) Same question as above.
