Re: [orca-list] develop for orca

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

It was my pleasure.  I wanted to make sure his desire to receive
guidance in helping develop for Orca was properly rendered.  And yes,
the  Pico voices sound pretty good.  Mbrola's Spanish voices sound
quite nice as well as do the Festival voices although these last ones
were based on somebody with a rather high tone Mexican upper class
accent such as you'd find on the tongue of a university professor.
It's funny at first and then it gets on your nerves.  An analogy for
English would be a speech synth that had a voice accented in the
manner of the Charles Winchester character on Mash.
