[orca-list] speech quality

[Melissa <melissa_orca mbfw net>]

Hi,

I was wondering if the Orca project has considered using larger stored 
speech units for the speech synthesizer in order to improve speech 
quality.

If this might be an option (perhaps configurable given the associated 
increase in size?) then I would like to volunteer to record the phonemes 
or words necessary to do this.

I have a relatively accent-free voice, and the facilities to do 
recording with reasonable quality.

Sincerely,
Melissa

P.S. I reviewed the wiki and searched the mailing list archives for 
indications of previous discussions of the topic, but didn't find 
anything - apologies if I missed it.
