Question about Text To Speech W/ Esound 7
Henry Cipolla asks:
"Somebody recently asked a question about
text to speech with Linux. Following the
links brought me to festival, but I could
not find anything that worked happily with
Esound. Does anybody know of any hacks or
patches or whatnot that will allow some sort
of text to speech under Esound?"

There may be a way to fix those minor caveats, I didn't spend much time on it. It worked well enough for me. *And* I could redirect the audio to another server for extra kicks... It's great to watch someone jump as their computer starts talking to them!

easier text to speach ? (Score:1)
I am curious if there is any easier text to speach program out there. Or a library?
Or if there are any text editors (other than emacs or vi) that allow you to have the text read to you?
I have heard about emacs speak, but I am more interested in a simple GUI text editor that will do text to speach under Linux.

I also use festival because I found irssi (irc client) had a speech plugin. You could easily write a simple plugin to work with gEdit and do this for you. Festival works real nice with esddsp
. Too bad my machine is slow and irssi insists on reading people's hostnames/ip's which makes stuff *slow*.
And I'm sick of the englishman's voice...
