* I've printed off Cho et al (2021) and will study it later. * Emvoice looks interesting, but is expensive and seems to only be for WinMac, not *nix. * I'll look for Vocaloid * Likewise nnsvs * Festival is in the EPEL repository so is great for RHEL and clones, such as I run. This will be first choice. * I note specification, but it would be a major project to build from spec to product. * I'll go looking for Lilysong. It would be really nice to have one source for print and audio. Once again, thanks for your responses to satisfy my curiosity.
