Hi, I'm just now catching up on this list and note no one suggested trying espeak for osx. Yes, it's a formant voice. However, it does provide a Classical Greek varient, and the maintainer is very supportive of specific suggestions for improving pronunciation.
http://espeak.sf.net I have wondered, however, whether Classical Greek is what we really need for Biblical study, as the New Testament is in Koine Greek. Here again, I suspect Jonathan, the maintainer of espeak, would be supportive of building and providing a Koine voice, if some expert might give him specifics on what needs to be different. I would imagine Koine is relatively close to Classical Greek, as the time difference is only a few centuries. hth Janina Brian Howerton writes: > Hello all, > I am trying to teach myself new testament greek.
