Well, frankly, festival sounds like garbage, worst then the Braille 'n
Speak or accent in my opinion. When I was using it with gnopernicus, I
found myself spending more time on understanding what festival was
saying, then I did on actually using gnopernicus and using gnome. Yes,
I know, festival is GPL software, and we should be happy that we have
a GPL software synth at all, but Hynek did ask for comments, so I'm
posting my own in an attempt to answer his question of what is wrong
with festival in my opinion, and not in an attempt to start a flame
war (smile).
