Re: Gnopernicus and FreeTTS

[Bill Haneman <Bill Haneman Sun COM>]

Runar:

You don't have to rebuild gnopernicus; it's the "gnome-speech"
package/module that you need to rebuild for FreeTTS. 

Once you successfully build a free-tts-capable version of
gnome-speech, gnopernicus should be able to find its voices
in the list of available voices.  I believe the gnopernicus docs
have details on how to change the voice used for a particular
speech presentation, and for changing the default voice used for
_all_ presentation.  Changing the global voice settings is almost
certainly what you want to do, instead of changing the details of
individual presentation strings' voices.

FreeTTS is available in binary form (from more than one place I think,
but certainly from from http://freetts.sourceforge.net/docs/index.php )

It requires a recent Java virtual machine and developer kit, available
from java.sun.com free of charge.   I don't believe that a suitable 
version of
Java is provided with Fedora.
