I was at the talk as well, and just had a few comments. I was glad that
you didn't demo Gnopernicus, because with a stock Fedora install,
festival is pretty broken.

My question to you (and I didn't want to put you in a spot yesterday) is
what's a good TTS system to use? There's DECTalk (USD$50), there's
ViaVoice (used to be free; costs money now; Mark the last time I checked
used this), and festival (not so good). There's flite/eflite, and how's
that?

I'm trying to get some users converted to Linux, and they're so
dependent on their JAWS. So, what's usable folk?

Thanks.
