-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Garrett, When you configure flite for the 16 bit voice, use these two options: ./configure --enable-shared --with-vox=cmu_us_kal16 then do "make" and "make install". But that will not be enough to persuade speech-dispatcher to use the better voice. I too am anxious to get that last step done. Dectalk is pleasant to listen to, but it is too damn smart to use for a screen reader, taking annoying liberties with things.
