its a small rewrite of FESTIVAL, targeted for embedded devices.
need my panda to start checking it.
 
FLite has been around since at least 2000, probably earlier. It would be the only serious consideration for open-source text-to-speech, either Festival or FLite.
 
Flite runs wonderfully on the BeagleBoard. There is no doubt in my mind it'll run equally well on the Pandora.
 
i didnt check further, but are PDF plugins available?
 
So, how do these things sound? I've heard festival before and at least by default, the voice sounds like a speech synth off some early 80s microcomputer. I haven't done much experimenting, though.
 
i've tried festival before, they sound OK for some audiobook like uses.
ONLY for english, spanish synth was still so raw last time i checked.
