Anybody heard of Fretts?

Hi
Unfortunately what you get in that file is what's called a limited domain 
voice. This means it only knows how to say certain things, such as numbers 
for the time. The generic voices sound exactly like flite, unless you link 
it to the mbrola voices. That will give you better quality but it will be 
much less responsive. Based on what I've experimented with I'd say freetts 
and festival are on par with responsiveness, flite being much faster. And 
since FreeTTS's generic voices are identical to flite's, I wind up just 
using flite when I need software speech.
