Fwd: Re: A new tts on Linux

[Fernando Botelho]

That is good to know, thanks. The thing is, SpeechD-el apparently is 
able to handle multiple languages by default, seems to work 
out-of-the-box with eSpeak, and seems to be easier to setup. One way or 
another it looks like I will not have it all, but I might  get to try 
this before I figure out how to configure Emacspeak with eSpeak.


I know that tools for advanced users do not place a big priority on 
making things easy. I just never expected that mere installation of 
Emacspeak was going to be such a big deal.
