[Cialug] Text to speech

[Josh More]

Check out  http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/

It works pretty well, but if you want natural-sounding speech, you need
to use alternate voice files.

Festival is also available as rpms/debs for the more common distros.


As an aside, does anyone here have familiarity with the reverse? 
Speech to Text?  I'm looking for solutions that will run on Linux.  For
this application, non-open source is acceptable, but not preferred.

I am trying to set up a text to speech machine for a mostly blind 
nephew. I was trying to set up a
desktop system similar to what Jaws for windows does. Anyone here have

any guidance or suggestions
on where I might look?
Thanks
Chris
