Arrgh, sorry, I was thinking of FreeTTS, which was a sort of direct descendant of Flite. The flite docs imply that you can use voices built with FestVox, but I guess you have to "compile" them into Flite somehow: http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/flite/index.html > > > Uh, no. I though it compiled with gcj like OpenOffice. The accessible OpenOffice setup required a Sun JDK (I believe it doesn't anymore though, with latest bits). I think Flite has some performance optimizations, speed-wise, and a smaller footprint. The latest released version, 1.3, seems to be about a year old. Sorry for the confusion.
