Bummer, there's no Debian packages for American Female. No American Woman either.
I think you should only include the 8k voices in your packages... No point with the big 16k voices.

I'm not sure if (the latter half of) your post is joking; 16kHz voices are much better on the ears, as they can handle frequencies up to about 8 kHz, while 8kHz can only get a maximum of 4 kHz; while that's enough for recognizable speech, and even speaker recognition, it sounds really bad. IMHO.
I'm much better with 16 kHz, but I suppose they can be packaged separately. Just as long as they don't get left out entirely...

You can make festival say some text (the equivalent of flite -t text command) with the following command:
And I have no idea why they call that voice an "American Male" ... American Cyborg?
EDIT: I wasn't joking about leaving out the 16kHz voices, I was thinking that the design aesthetic of the Tablets is to keep everything small and minimalist, so the 8kHz voices would be fine ($10 says that flite uses 8kHz voices). But 16kHz voices should be available as an option. Options are good. I wish some of the female voices were available for Debian. My tablet shouldn't talk with a male voice; my wife insists that she is the mistress, or "the 6itch"
EDIT2: Penguinbait, I just found a more direct way to get audio to work in Festival, when I was poking around init.scm trying to figure out how to change to a different voice. Turns out there's an (undocumented) Audio_Method called esdaudio, so you only need to add one line to festival.scm:
EDIT3: Here's a fun page for testing out what the different voices sound like:
http://festvox.org/voicedemos.html
EDIT4: Can anyone find / build a .deb of the slt_arctic_hts (female American) voice? Please?

Everything is working, more or less, in the bootable Debian. Johnx's current "beta3" is a real improvement.
That being said, that's not what I want
What I'd like is a nice little Debian chroot .deb so people could run OpenOffice and stuff on their tablets without the nightmare of copying and pasting my second-rate scripts onto their tablet or the hassle of booting into Debian.
EDIT: Here's what I've got so far with getting Flash and Java to run.
Dont get me wrong, I am interest in Debian too, but for the sake of r/w MS word, KDE is suffice (?). And with MS Powerpoint, all I need is to fire up VNC and I am giving lectures via my tablet using powerpoint!

I am wondering where people would like to see me spend some time? I am sure this will open up a can of worms, but I thought I would ask. No promisses on anything.
Do you want to see the KDE3.5.8 v2 turned into a deb?
Do you want me to ports some QT/KDE apps for use with KDE? (qt 3.x based)
Do you want me to fix some issue with current V2?
Should I port another XFCE or other window manager/ desktop environment?
Do you want me to go back to sleep?
Looking forward to your comments and suggestions,
pb
If you want a new challenge:
Get A2DP working like it is transparently part of chinook.
Or
Get hardware 3D drivers working.
Or
Make a fully Hildonized multiplayer (with game browser) game client. Something that will connect to a standard linux server. I haven't run Netrek yet, but that's probably a good example.

They open/r/w ms.doc, albeit I did not look deep enough. On top of this, I was excited to see KPresenter open/r/w powerpoint.

I haven't used koffice except on a desktop, and that a couple years ago; but at that point, it would open files fine, and save files that Word could open fine, but it differed substantially on interpretation of formatting. The documents rendered much more similar to MSO in OOo.
Oddly enough, there were some problems with kword occasionally writing odt files that OOo couldn't read; not sure whose fault...
