It's already finished for NextStep. and porting it to a non object-C nextstep system isn't a sexy task. Once GNUstep gets finished I expect the port will get more active.

Also look at I already mentioned that your guys have absolutely no idea what "text to speech" is. that 'vocal tract research' as you put it is the turns the letters into sounds. :P First you the the text ans convert it into the phonemes(the actual Text to speech" part of Text to voice.) then you that the speech and give it to a speech synthesizer. which take the phonemes and a 'voice' and outputs the parameters to a vocoder to actually generate the sounds. the public domain and open source rsynth does a good job of voice synth although the text to phonemes part needs work. It's like the "hello world" program of Text-to-peach-to-voice-synthesis. I though MERL's Combadge had a speech synth but I can't find any mention of it. http://www.merl.com/reports/docs/TR2005-161.pdf > > http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~hill/papers/synthesizer/images/synthapp.png > > it might be hard to get all the windows on the Ben.
