Re: [orca-list] What synth are people using?

Mike, 

I've written instructions for compiling and installing ESpeak and Gnome-speech in OpenSuSE 11 at 
www.digitaldarragh.com.  The process isn't too difficult in this release. 

I think it would be a great idea to set ESpeak as the default synthesizer for all future releases of 
OpenSuSE. In fact.  I wouldn't bother including estival at all!  SBL and Gnome-Speech will very happily use 
ESpeak so you'd also cut down on the installation size.

Hi all,

OpenSUSE currently provides festival and espeak, but gnome-speech is not 
built with espeak support, and festival is used by default.  It seems to 
me that espeak is more widely-used than festival these days, so we should 
probably make it the default for 11.1, but I wanted to take an informal 
poll to see which synth people prefer.  So, if people could email me and 
let me know which synth you're using or if you have any input either way, 
then I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,
-Mike G-
