I'm using a pIII-450 and it pronounces it "freebs". However if you
spell it "Free B S D" it does just fine. Seems to do well with most
words I've thrown at it - including some last names (it does mine
almost perfect, but blows some real easy ones).

Did gmake test work for you in festival? It did for me in speech-tools
but not festival even tho it seems to work well. Sure is gonna make some
of these boring README files easier! ...wonder how hard it'd be to tie
it into the select buffer in X...
