Re: [orca-list] Free TTS Voices

I also hope that the open training process will allow languages to be 
supported which are not considered economically viable by proprietary 
TTS developers.

Also, if development reaches the point at which it's usable with Orca, 
comments from Orca users may facilitate further refinement by Mozilla. 
My understanding is taht it's intended ultimately for use in 
applications, and not only as a machine learning experiment.
