This reminds me of "PyFlite," a Python version of the Festival speech synthesis system developed at Carnegie-Mellon. PyFlite allows for some remarkably simple speech output, although as Douglas Adams put it, speech synth still tends to sound like "concussed Norwegians." I haven't played much with PyFlite. Has anyone tinkered with it enough to figure out how to do different voices? (It seems to require recompilation of Festival's C++ source.) Wouldn't do me too much good if my characters could talk but all sounded the same.
