speakup and ubuntu

[guy schlosser]

I also am very interested in the Viavoice (AKA IBM-TTS) 
package.  Does anyone know for sure if Cap. Accessability is 
selling/is going to sell it?  Is there any form of a release 
schedule?  Espeak is awesome, but it would be awesome to have more 
voices to choose from at your disposal.

Thanks much in advance,


Guy
