That's what I'm going to try to do, Tedd. I'll post updates throughout
the day to include the new mailing list address and such (so we're not
flooding the PHP list with stuff about a specific project) and other

Okay, anyone interested in joining the project can subscribe to the
official mailing list (sounds fancy!) set up for the project at:

I'm looking forward to getting into discussions and debates, and getting
the project off the ground.

Hi gang:
Most text to speech techniques concentrate on making the browser or
desktop application do the translation of web text to speech. For

I had actually done something almost exactly like this as an experiment
a few months back at http://isawit.com/tts/login.php. The audio download
portion may no longer work, though I can't remember if I removed the
code from that specific server or not. It was just for my own fun and
Ditto on Festival. I've used it in the past as a trigger on MUD text to
vocalize messages sent by players.

I guess I am just thinking the alternative is creating your own package

No, that's one of my servers. In all honesty, though, a dedicated

You might also be able to convince the webhost to just install
