wow, didn't realise that asking about speech so innocently would
generate so much traffic :)

Yeah, I ended up there, too.  I got quite excited because I kinda liked
the sound examples and the fact that I had actually control over the
phonemes.  Unfortunately they seem to be only distributing binary
versions and their version of a binary for linux-ppc doesn't work on my
system.  Looks like it's some dependency prob connected to libstdc++. 
Will see if they can help.

I had a quick look (well I fiddled with some things for a couple of
hours).  It's a bit over my head right now although looks like there are
some interesting possibilitites in developing voices and such.  But it's
definitely usable in a very stright-forward manner.  I will prolly end
up using it in one way or another...

This is cool :)  Although not what I(thought)'m looking for for my
current project, but I'm beginning to see some interesting
possibilities... 

Thanks everyone for the input.
