It actually sounds like you're doing quite well, so far. Your internal DEC Talk board may not be supported, however. Why not get ViaVoice for now, since you do hear Emacspeak through your sound card? I've attached the IBM web page that can get you started in that direction. On Wed, 22 Aug 2001, helkenn wrote: > Hello, > A couple of questions from a Mandrake 8.0 and emacspeak newvee... > > 1.

ViaVoice text-to-speech (TTS) technology uses the latest in linguistic technologies to synthesize speech. More than just a simple reader, ViaVoice TTS is a sophisticated technology that goes through several high level linguistic stages to create highly intelligible speech output. Rather than using small snippets of actual spoken recordings and gluing them together, the formant technology takes advantage of a synthesizer to generate the final sounds that we hear. The attributes of this technology are that it is highly intelligible, and, because it is totally generated by the computer, is very flexible and requires fewer system resources. It can accommodate an unlimited number of voices by modifying the gender, pitch, headsize, roughness, etc., and all of these attributes can be modified on the fly.
June 26, 2000: The golden ViaVoice TTS SDK for Linux V5.1 is now available. This SDK provides a robust set of application programming interfaces (APIs) that when combined with the ViaVoice TTS Run Time Kit enables Linux applications to access text-to-speech resources.
March 31, 2000: The ViaVoice TTS Run Time Kit for Linux V5.1 provides a flexible speech synthesis engine and currently supports U.S. English only. ViaVoice TTS SDK for Linux
The Run Time must be installed to run the samples in the SDK.
