Re: Non-english

AT&T used to sell their natural voices packages that supported English (UK & US), French, Spanish (ES), German, and Korean. There is a Linux client available, though the software is harder to find nowadays since AT&T stopped supporting it. This is non-free software. A company called Scansoft also makes a variety of engines: English, French (FR & CA), Spanish, Dutch, German, Japanese. I'm not sure if they have Linux versions of these engines (I've only seen Windows clients). The AT&T one, at least, should not be hard to plug in, and sounds much better than the free TTS engines.

I think you're talking about IBM ViaVoice? To properly support it, we need a permanent licensed copy. Anyone care to donate?
