hi Henrik and all.
I personally would love to see movement away from Festival. it's too
big,
it's buggy, it's unresponsive, and for what its worth, it also doesn't
play
nice with VMware.
I don't know much about it myself, but a lot of folks over at the speakup
list seem to be pretty excited about Espeak. From what I understand,
it has
a lot of potential, but needs some work. Also, I'm not sure whether
anyone
is doing a gnome-speech driver. I don't know whether espeak can be
brought
up to snuff in time for edgy inclusion, but perhaps it might be worth
it to
consider expending some effort to make that happen.
Has anyone tested Festival 2? (or 1.95 I guess it is)
Does anyone have a view on which technology is fundamentally the best?
It would be good if we could gather around one solution and push that
forward. There seems to be a lot of fragmentation and half-baked
implementations in this area, even for open source. [or perhaps I should
say, even for academic projects, as that is what most speech engines are.]
