Text to Speech Voice
I like the TTS voice on my Pocket Pro, but I was wondering if there's any way to change it to something different?

. The License fee is huge (probably more than Astak is worth , knowing AT&T ), so we get to have an "open source", free version of TTS, |

Festival?
The OP asked about a better sounding Text to Speech. AT&T (a major Telephone company) in the USA has a product that sounds great but is way far from free (also known as: Very Expensive). Individuals can try it out, but can't post the sample output (or I would have). Astak is not in a position to use a really good text to speech for the reasons stated (How much do you make? Send 5x of that if you want to use our content .). |

It did not make a sound when I entered text and clicked "say it" (tride an alternate "voice" also) I also noted the usage restriction at the bottom. |
