hi: I'm looking for a decent software synthesizer for using with Linux speech. So thought I would write the group and ask what's all available and what folks recommend and where to get them. don't mind purchasing it if the quality and responsiveness is decent. Thanks for your recommendations. I use speakup as well as orca with ubuntu as well as another linux os called samurai. thanks and have a good day everyone.
