I would think you would have to add that voice mapped to "MALE1" or rather change that AddVoice line in your dtk-generic. What I wouldn't know is whether that voice is assigned a name in flite that you can use. As you can see in my cpstral-generic.conf, i was able to put "Frank" as "MALE1" and also I've now added "Emily" as "FEMALE1". when I wanted Emily as the default, I changed the default to "FEMALE1" in speechd.conf. But again, I don't know the labels for flite's voices. -- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
