Re: [orca-list] new text to speech project based on Festival Lite

[Mike Gorse <mgorse alum wpi edu>]

Hi,

I'm reviving a very old thread (just found this message while cleaning out 
my inbox), but I took a look at the git repository and found that the most 
recent commit is from about a month ago. Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone 
has tried it and, if so, how it compares to espeak-ng--I wonder if it 
would be worth writing a speech-dispatcher driver for it (presumably, the 
flite driver could be used as a starting point). I might give it a try 
if/when I can get it to build (it seems to want a different version of 
pcre than the one I have installed at the moment).
