Re: Mozilla TTS (was Re: New Nuance Conversational Voice)



Jason said: "If it becomes reliable and works in real time, it could be adopted as the default for Linux systems."

Real time meaning when asked for on a host computer, or meaning when networked via Internet with a networked databank?

Much of the world has only Internet available by very costly satellite, like Iridium.  Think:  ships at sea, aircraft, Deepest Africa and remote Pacific Islands, like Little Diomede, Alaska where when the salt water is frozen you can not only SEE Russia, you can walk the two and a half miles to Big Diomede Island which is Russia.

Anyway, I don't like things that "call home."

So does this conversation text to speech system need to be connected to Internet to work?
Best wishes,
David
