It's some years ago that I use speech synthesizers and I can't |
| 22 |
remember all details. |

| 24 |
First I use mbrola for some years. Unfortunately it is not an open |
| 25 |
source program but it is available for gentoo. For some reason |
| 26 |
(that I don't remember, maybe because it's not open source or |
| 27 |
maybe because there is no 64bit binary) I switched over to espeak. |
| 28 |
Later I also used festival. But I still used the mbrola voices |
| 29 |
together with espeak and also with festival because they have a |
| 30 |
very good quality (I downloaded some high quality mbrola voices |
| 31 |
from the mbrola homepage). |
