1 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
5 http://voxin.oralux.net/.

26 Hi James,
27
28 I think voxin is viavoice right? If so I have no experience with it at all.

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

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