Very interesting, unfortunately it is not Free Software. If we will use
proprietary software then weaken power for Free Software development of
TTS etc. If you really don't need the proprietary software better send
money to developers who can improve Free Software.

Have a nice day

Doubt it very much. Even if you have libstdc++-2.96 compatibility, you'd
need a supported interface between your screen reader and the TTS
engine. On Linux that would be gnome-speech, or speech-dispatcher, or
speakup-connector, or py-ibmtts, or the emacspeak driver.

If it works with emacspeak, then it works with YASR, out of the box.
Just set your DTK_PROGRAM variable to the name of the emacspeak speech
server executable and type "yasr".

Re: TTSynth Is Here At Last

Hi, Shane:

We have some dozen language models available, and those do indeed
include U.K. English.

We've managed to work around some bugs, though by no means all of them.
For instance, TTSynth will run on Ubuntu now, where not so long ago it
didn't. However, you'll still need libstdc++ compatibility, which your
apt should happily install for you when you install TTSynth. Ditto for
Fedora rpms.

Headers are available separately. See:

http://sf.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=154669

Re: TTSynth Is Here At Last

[Brent Harding]

Will this use Alsa so that we don't have to use the odd work arounds if we 
want to play streams or something while surfing the net? It is good that we 
finally have Viavoice without the need to buy bulk licensing.

I should expect it would be harder to run Speakup on a Mac than to run
TTSynth on a Mac. Speakup is a patch to the Linux kernel, not the
Mac kernel.

Re: TTSynth Is Here At Last

[Janina Sajka]

We did what we could to support alsa, but support is via alsa's oss.
Can't do anything about that because it's hardcoded into ibmtts, and we
do not have that source code. However, there were problems running with
alsa which were fixed some time ago. It was one of the early issues that
held us up. There have been lots of issues! <grin>

So, bottom line--you should be able to play sounds while running
software speech. However, going back and forth between the desktop and
console with the TTSynth drivers may still be problematical.
Fortunately, now that the product is actually available, we're hoping
this kind of remaining issue will get worked out fairly quickly, as it
doesn't require anything from the actual ibmtts module.

If he meant running Linux on a Mac with Speakup, I'm sure that must be 
possible. I don't know if it's simple to do though.

Re: TTSynth Is Here At Last

[Jacob Schmude]

Hi
Not related to ALSA, but a library question also. Will TTSynth be  
available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions? So far most proprietary  
synths are 32-bit only (with the exception of Cepstral, as far as I  
know).

I understand that's attractive, but I don't know of anyone who's done

Re: TTSynth Is Here At Last

Hi, Shane:

I'm not myself competent to give you a really intelligent answer about all
these details. However, I can tell you that we're supported by multiple
speech drivers in open source, inclugind gnome-speech, py-ibmtts, and
our own speakup-connector. You can certainly look at the source of these
without spending money for the TTSynth product. I believe you'll find
multiple approaches.

Re: TTSynth Is Here At Last

[Jacob Schmude]

Hi
I don't doubt that the 32-bit code would run under 64-bit Linux with  
the correct emulation libraries, it usually does. However, there are  
other issues to take into account other than whether it runs. The  
main one is that 64-bit and 32-bit libraries often are unable to link  
together. Have you been able to run it with a fully 64-bit gnome and  
gnome-speech installation linked into the 32-bit libraries of TTSynth?

The debian/Ubuntu packaging is IMO, rather woeful. It would have been 
much better to ask the license questions in the preinst script using 
debconf. As an Ubuntu packager, I do not endorce the packaging quality 
of the deb.

I would also think that offering a tarball download would make sense, as 
there are users of other distros here, such as Slackware. At this point, 
such users have to jump through hoops just to get the package 
installed.

Re: TTSynth Is Here At Last

[Doug Sutherland]

Hmm wow I loved viavoice for linux while it was still compatible.
I'm wondering how this module was made to work. After the 
viavoice was no longer compatible, I managed to do a painful
build where I had two versions of glibc installed, one for use 
with viavoice and one that was current. Spent many hours on 
this, and although it worked, I eventually gave up on viavoice.
Does this mean capital accessibility is able to rebuild the ibm
viavoice (actually eloquence inside) tts engine for compatibility 
with new c libararies? Or does it use some kind of wrapper 
code as compatibility layer? Can programs be compiled from
source using the eci.h header?

Glad to see viavoice is still alive.

I should expect it would be harder to run Speakup on a Mac than to run
TTSynth on a Mac. Speakup is a patch to the Linux kernel, not the
Mac kernel.

Note slackware/gentoo/non deb/rpm distros, you will need the following 
library to use ttsynth.

libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3

It is needed by all shared libraries that came in my package anyway.

You should have no problem running Linux on a mac.  With the intel
chip in the new mac, just boot a live cd or install a conventional
distro and you should be on your way.  If the drivers for the mac
hardware are too different, though, from those for hardware under
x-86, you might encounter some trouble there.  I have never tried it,
but I don't see that you should have any trouble with it.  



Hope this helps.

Re: TTSynth Is Here At Last

I wonder if you could possibly do a dual boot.  I don't know how much
space you've got on there, but I wonder if Linux and mac-osx can both
go on together, then the boot loader can help you get the one you want
going.  

I just wondered, I have never tried it on one of the machines you
