I'm running FreeBSD 2.0.5 and was wondering if there's a package or port out there that can synthesize speech and output it through the soundcard? I.e. if I feed the program a file name or text on standard input, it will speak it. The voice doesn't have to be English-like at all -- in fact, for my purposes, a computer/robot-like voice would really sound cool. So, does anyone know of a program that can do this? I didn't really see anything on my CDROM that looked promising. I have programs for Linux, but suspect that the sound drivers (even though they're both written by the same person) are probably vastly incompatible, and porting it would be a nightmare. -- Donald Burr ** U.S. Mail: P.O.
