== Extra Festival Voices ==
=== Notes ===
A lot of the information presented here comes from the Ubuntu forums.  For a more detailed guide, see:

This was written by a Ubuntu user.  The steps may be slightly different on other distrobutions.
This guide uses the American English voices.
This guide does not cover the CMU voices discussed in the Ubuntu Forums guide.  I had trouble getting them to work and had to go and change some things by hand.
Before running any of the scripts here, be sure to have festival installed and a working internet connection.
=== Installing Festival ===
The following command should get you festival along with all the festival foices in their 16k version.  These are only the American English voices.  Open terminal and type the following command.
