Hi Guys, your thoughts on espeak for lubuntu?

To: Phill Whiteside <[email protected]> Hi Phill, bit of confusion in the above. CMU Sphinx is a recognition engine, it takes sound and converts to text. Julius is another recognition engine, it does the same thing. Simon is a command and control system. It takes text input from a recognition engine (Julius in this instance) and does what it thinks the user asked. It is not a speech recognition system in itself. OpenMARY is a speech synthesiser, it takes text and converts it to an audio file for playback. In terms of a lightweight speech synthesiser I would suggest just using espeak, like Ubuntu. It covers lots of languages, can be speeded up a lot, sounds horrible, but blind people like it. You don't need a speech recognition library or command and control application.
