Re: IBM TTS espeak connector

["D.J.J. Ring, Jr." <n1ea@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rob,

Then is there an interface from the past that will take the input from speakup and use IBM TTS as an output?

Gilles told me that there was one that used espeak and then went to IBM TTS, but he didn't remember the details.

What I am looking for is something that will allow use IBM TTS in console - that is not having the graphical interface running at all.

Right now all I can find is espeak or by running emacspeak on the command line which uses IBM TTS directly with its own engine.

Hello David and list,

As Chris says, I think you may be confusing espeak and speakup.
