Re: [orca-list] Nuance voices in Linux

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

The ibmtts is the same voice called eloquence in windows. It was, maybe still is owned by nuance. It is 
marketed as voxin for Linux and is available 
from oralux. You can also get it for English from the Vinux project, and I believe Spanish and Portuguese 
from the F123 folks. 
It is a bit confusing as when configuring speech-dispatcher it is called ibmtts.
As for other voices it would probably take some doing that would probably include someone writing a 
speech-dispatcher module and buying licenses in bulk 
to resell, i.e. time and money, not to mention the organization of a website to resell said licenses and 
distribute the actual software.
SSSSomeone who knows more about and hopefullly has personal experience using the other voices that can be 
purchased from sextrol and another company 
that slips my mind might chime in with information. 
Those voices do have samples on their websites, but not sure about how well they actually work at this time, 
or how well they ever worked on Linux for 
that matter.
The voxin voices do generally work quite well.
