Hi,

the version of IBM tts that comes with voxin can't do mixed case processing
when used with either gnome-speech or speech-dispatcher.

It's very responsive though and it shuts up when you tell it to.

I have two questions about Voxen.

 does this version of Eloquence give you mixed case processing? In other
words, how is the following string pronounced:
"ThisStringShouldBePronouncedAsMultipleWords."

The version of IBMTTS which comes with the ttSynth package does not do this.

Also, how is the responsiveness of Voxen?  Again, ttSynth does not shut up
when asked most of the time. So, if you do something at the terminal that
produces lots of output (like a make etc), its very hard to get the
synthesizer to stop talking when a key is pressed.

Thanx for any info...

Hi,
Yes it is running here.

Before run the installation script I copied the directory Ubuntu.8.04 as
Ubuntu.8.10. Both directories may reside under a directory called packages.

I tried to install with speech-dispatcher but it didn't work. I'm
running with gnome-speech.
