I found this on their website: "This demo is for demonstration purposes
only. For other use, please contact our Sales Office
<http://www.scansoft.com/speechworks/sales/>."
If they are reading these posts they will probably be making some simple
changes to limit rate of requests processed from a client. Even if they
aren't reading this thread they might see that they need to add some
brakes to the free demo.
I'm not criticizing you. If I were doing this I would probably continue
tweaking as long as I was enjoying it. Just don't count on it being
usable for a long time into the future.

I use an additional shell script that breaks up the text into
sentences, which hopefully have less than 100 characters. These
sentences are then processed by the perl script and concatenated into
a single wave file:
#!/bin/sh
OUTDIR=${1:-.}
while read file text
do
echo $file
(echo $text | sed -e 's/\. /.\n/g' | while read s
do
./getsound.pl - "$s" | sox -t wav - -t raw -r 8000 -sw -c 1 -
done) | sox -t raw -r 8000 -sw -c 1 - $OUTDIR/$(basename $file
.gsm).wav
done
This script expects stdin to be a list like:
hello.gsm Hello there.
thankyou.gsm Thank you.
long.gsm This is a long piece of text. And another sentence.
So far, I have not had to process a sentence that is longer than 100
characters, but this would not be too hard to cater to. I have
attached the perl script for perusal.

Curious if the perl scropt overcomes the 100 char limitation?

I have been using the web demo of ScanSoft's SpeechWorks - RealSpeak at
http://www.scansoft.com/speechworks/realspeak/demo/default.asp. It has
very nice output. I even managed to get a nifty perl script going that
can do TTS from the command line for me.

The one I like:

is toast. I think they went broke or got aquired by someone. Also, is
there
a Festival voice that sounds as good as Rhetorical or the AT & T
stuff? The
default one is barely legible. Since Festival is a little brutal to
configure, I'd like to get someone's recommendation then go through
the pain
of reconfiguring it only once.
