Hi Krishnakant,

As has been said on list before installing Voxin on an Ubuntu system
is fairly painless. Download the archive sent to you by Oralux using
the link in the e-mail. Unpack the tarball. Finally run the
install_voxin.sh script and its done. Restart yor system and Orca will
come up talking with Voxin. Its as easy as that.

However, yes, Eloquence AKA Voxin, is proprietary. It costs a nominal
fee of $6.00 USD per language which isn't extremely expensive. Much
less than say the voices sold by Cepstral or some other commercial TTS
vender.
