I didn't say it sounded great, I said it works.

Fine, guys, wait for perfectly human-sounding TTS to suddenly appear and be able to run in the Empeg's limited resources.

Incidentally, awhile back I spoke with Alan Black, author of Flite. He seemed very interested in selling me Cepstral. I didn't follow up on it because I had other things to do at the time. The thing is I don't think Cepstral has source code available, which would mean we'd have to work out a way to modify it (or have them add support for the Empeg's soundcard and up-sampling the sound.)

If anyone really wants Cepstral I can try to resume dialog with him. The thing is I think we should start working with what we have. Too often around here people want the Mercedes without trying things out on the Chevy Impala first.
