There is a full version of Festival available for Maemo, you can have it speak in a lovely female voice, or in Spanish:<br><br><a href="http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=244092">http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=244092</a><br>
<br>The package comes with a script that replaces flite for Maemo Mapper.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 13, 2009 at 2:10 AM, Andrew Daviel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:advax@triumf.ca">advax@triumf.ca</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I installed Flite to speak directions in maemo-mapper, but I can't<br>
understand what it's saying half the time. There isn't AFAIK a button to<br>
press to make it repeat the phrase, either.<br>
<br>
It is using a fairly limited set of words (turn, left, etc.) taken from<br>
Google directions (apart from street names, that is). I was wondering if<br>
it was possible to adjust the pronunciation of these common words, or<br>
even to steal sound bites from e.g. navigator.<br>
I had an idea that something was possible in rsynth (precursor to<br>
festival), or by mis-spelling words to lengthen vowels etc.<br>
The docs for Festival suggest that all sorts of things are possible, if<br>
only I understood Lisp :-)<br>
