Subject: Text2speech recommendations?
Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2003 21:45:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <000501c386ca$ad9673a0$8200a8c0@bobsh> (raw)

I would like opinions and recommendations on a suitable software
combination so that I can convert large blocks of ascii text to
reasonable or good quality speech to be saved in .wav or  converted
into .mp3.
The final objective might be to convert to a daisy format suitable for
reading in a Victor Reader Classic, the standard RNIB Talking Book
Library player.  Yes, this will include burning output to a CD which I
intend to get soon.  Would that Dectalk speech engine mentioned here a
few times do the conversion for example?  I must have Festival lying
around here somewhere too.

GA!


.....     or someone very like me!
