The only speach sythesizer I've seen on Linux boxes is festival: http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/ You can use os.system() to run it from the "command line" or there are various client APIs: http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/manual/festival_28.html#SEC126 But, it's not installed by default on any distros I've ever used... -- Grant -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
