Yes, I'll do that.  I hadn't heard of that list before, so thanks for
the info.

The LarsWiki list is incomplete.  There's also eSpeak:
  http://espeak.sourceforge.net/

You didn't say what language you wanted, but your email's timezone
suggests British English, which eSpeak does.

"Best for certain reasons"?
If you want natural sounding speech then try Festival's large MultiSyn
voices:
  http://www.festvox.org/festival/downloads.html
  http://www.festvox.org/packed/festival/1.95/VOICES.README

For general screen reader use where responsiveness and intelligibility
are more important, some people prefer eSpeak.  I also prefer it for
reading text files and emails, but then I'm probably biased :-)

Available text-to-speech software for linux

2006-10-09 Thread Chris Hayes 
Hey, I was wondering whether there are any broad and up-to-date lists on the internet of what text-to-speech software is available for linux - or whether anyone can reply with a list of them - or offer any suggestions of what ones have the most voices/options or are best for certain reasons.
My father is keen to experiment with linux however one of the things he needs me to find is some really good text-to-speech software for him - and both me and him would like to know what's out there, so any replies to this would be great.
