I am the author of eSpeak, an open-source text-to-speech synthesizer. eSpeak version 1.19 now includes a Romanian voice. It is available at http://espeak.sourceforge.net/ and also in the Ubuntu Feisty repository. I do not speak Romanian, so I depend on feedback from native speakers to say whether the Romanian voice is useful, and to suggest improvements, or point out errors. eSpeak is small, and I hope it can be used on the standard Ubuntu CD to provide text-to-speech in many different languages. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Specs/MultilingualSpeechSynthesis It is useful for blind users (for example with the Orca screen reader), or for anyone for proof-reading or just listening to text passages. If you pass this message on to other Romanian users, somebody may find it interesting or useful, or may be able to give some useful feedback. _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lug.ro/mailman/listinfo/rlug
