Re: [orca-list] gnu-speach?



It sounds more like a natural human voice than espeak but is not nearly as good at pronounciation. It's as if it has a bad accent.

Sounding more natural might not be a bonus. I know a lot of people, myself included, find espeak kind of harsh. But people have told me that that is actually it's strength. That quality that we perceive as harshness is what makes espeak intelligible at very high speech rates. I don't know if that's true but it's true that I have espeak cranked up way faster than I have Robert on my Mac.

to use it, since if I'm reading correctly, it's heavily dependent on
GNUStep, which doesn't have a screen reader to my knowledge.
