I downloaded the espeak sample file online of "the raven" but found it difficult to understand. Is it easy for you to understand daniel?

And what's wrong with it? Have you ever used it on linux? I use linux every day and I use espeak for my screenreader (speakup). I also know lots of other blind people who use espeak for their screenreader since its not worth buying the IBM reed stuff for linux. The only other choice is festival or flite which sound a lot worse. But I use espeak on my mp3 player and linux and find it fine. I believe I tried it on windows once and it couldn't say words properly.You could barely understand it. So maybe linux has some sort of dictionaryfile or just better support. > I believe they have a source forge page. I think they do yes. -- Daniel Dalton http://members.iinet.net.au/~ddalton/ d.dalton@xxxxxxxxxxxx __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
