34 | The <application>FreeTTS</application> package contains a speech

35 | synthesis system written entirely in the <application>Java</application>
|

36 | programming language. It is based upon

37 | <ulink url="http://www.cmuflite.org/">Flite</ulink>: a small run-time
|
---|
38 | speech synthesis engine developed at Carnegie Mellon University.
|

40 | <ulink url="http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/">Festival</ulink>
|

41 | Speech Synthesis System from the University of Edinburgh and the
|

42 | <ulink url ="http://festvox.org/">FestVox</ulink> project from Carnegie
|

43 | Mellon University. The <application>FreeTTS</application> package is used
|

44 | to convert text to audible speech through the system audio hardware.
