Hi All,

Is there a way to use vocal synthesis in Linux ?

Best regards

Hi Jean-Marc,

I think you mean text-to-speech. Try eSpeak or Praat.

Kind regards,

Hi jean-Marc,

Yes, you call those programmes from the shell. You can install them completely with your own software (if the license allows that) or require the user to install them by themselves before using your software.

Kind regards,
