you don't need both. Festival is the full version (with lots of different voices including Spanish), flite is the "lite" version of festival (with only one robotic-sounding voice). If you're installing festival-multi, you've got everything you need.

Thank you,

I was looking for documentation on how to use it, going off of the manual. Can't seem to get it to speak.

when I try the command "festival" I just get a "not found"

Will there be an N900 version of a Text to Speech software?

I found one for free on the Blackberry last night called drive safe.ly which is quite good, and it would be great if we could have that on the N900, and even better if it can read out everything, say a book or an internet article for example.

hi Thor:
... if you are connected to the internet you could always just copy&paste into:

http://imtranslator.com/default.asp

1) I recommend registering [no spam] for a free account to overcome the text input limit
2) they use some of my favourite voices from loquendo
3) you don't have to translate - just hit the the "Say It" button

cheers

edit:
the imtranslator works fine in my n800 browser.

look, the tablet just talked! I am easily amused, so I find hours of entertainment making it say stupid things (like I like to eat purple tigers with billiard balls)
I followed the above instructions on my N900. Flite does indeed install. However when I type: flite "hello there" or whatever, all I get is a slight crackle from the speaker. Is there anything else that I need to install?
