linux and accessibility applications

[Saqib Shaikh]

Flite is better than Festival IMHO.  The problem with FreeTTS is that you
need Java, which Gentoo doesn't include .  Don't know if FreeTTS can be
rrecompiled with gcj - I doubt it.

I'd like to see FreeTTS in place of festival.  Festival is bad, for, you!
Thanks,
