Hi Matthew, Would it please be possible to include a British male and female accent also? Their diction is usually great and understandable across the world! (Brits call themselves as lacking in accent:-) Btw, I have no .festivalrc file. I guess I should creat this, looking at the manual? Many thanks and best wishes! --- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Sat, Jul 02, 2005 at 03:59:31PM -0300, Mariano Draghi wrote: > > I think the FC4 RPM just have the "core" of festival, without any of the > > other tools (extra voices, spanish support, etc). > > Actually, we ship everything that is under free license except for the > "multisyn" voices which are over 100MB each.
