Hi,
When I told Ken that I had an expensive weekend buying all kinds of
podcast stuff to do interviews at upcoming events he suggested to share
pictures here.
So, here goes.

Hello Mike,
Being the maker of this podcast I feel a response is in order.
As stated in the podcast I am not an expert on speech synthesis.
Also as stated in the podcast I was only evaluating programs with regard
to the HPR intro texts.
Having a visually impaired close friend as well as my own
Hello Kirk
HPR fans, Kirk is also a not-insignificant contributor to TTS and access
tech for blind and VI users on Linux.
Unless I have this completely wrong, Kirk is the author, or at least
very significant contributor to the absolutely ubiquitous SpeakUp *nix

Hey Mike et al: I aggree with claatu and others that an hpr episode on
espeak and it's wonders would be great.
I'd also really like to hear an interview with Jonathan but unless I
miss my hunch he may no longer be with us. At least I haven't heard

or more years ago. Loo
Without sig for Mike.

Well said Jon.
eSpeak really is lean and mean, and faster than a greasy snake.
And it has huge language support.
Some of the female voices might be more acceptable to anybody who is
offended by the default male voices.
And eSpeak's ability to return rendered speech as PCM to a calling

I use quite a bit of text-to-speech in my Blather commands, and eSpeak is by
far the best tool for the job in terms of performance. I tried Festival and it
was very laggy and tended to make the whole system drag. Espeak is so
lightweight that every response is instantaneous. I love it. :)

Hi Mike,
I couldn't agree with Klaatu or yourself more, this comment and command
deserves it's own show. You should contact Jonathan Duddington, and see
if you can get an interview.
However, from my own listening to this show I understood that the
context was in relation to the use case of the HP
