Am wondering if anyone knows of a GUI based text to speech program in linux,one that has speed/volume settings,and would be good if it had different voices to.
The reason am asking is because have gone back to linux [dual boot,not deleted vista] though didn't have to get dads techy boss to do install it this time,did it self using WUBI.
the distro am using is Xubuntu [which uses Xfce if that makes any difference] have got espeak installed but that is not GUI/runs off CLI so even though its useable,it's not what am really after in a TTS program,need it to be less fiddly with a lot more options.
Am want something as close to JTalk as possible in linux?
Am have heard about the festival engine and some GUIs for it,but couldnt find festival on synaptic package manager and do not have the skills to install via any other way.
Also,are there any basic programs out there which allow people to make their own programs [a visual drag and paste type one rather than one involving numbers/code],as would really like to be able to make a linux TTS designed for NV/SI autists.
Thanks a lot.
