Package: wnpp

FreeTTS is a speech synthesis system written entirely in the Java(TM)
programming language. It is based upon Flite, a small run-time speech
synthesis engine developed at Carnegie Mellon University. Flite in turn
is derived from the Festival Speech Synthesis System from the University
of Edinburgh and the FestVox project from Carnegie Mellon University.
