According to its website, there are still updates being done to the software |
2 |
(most recently April of this year). However, a quick read of the said |
3 |
website sort of answers my question as it hasn't really been tested outside |
4 |
of Debian/Ubuntu. If you're curious, have a look at |

http://voxin.oralux.net/. |

Hi James, |

I think voxin is viavoice right? If so I have no experience with it at all. |

The disadvantage there is it hasn't been updated in years and you'll have to |
31 |
install old glibc compatibility packages, etc. |

If you do decide to do that, I am curious how it will go. |
