LFS and epeak

[fos]

The Linux From Scratch LiveCD is trying to support the espeak text to speech synthesizer. Mr. Patrakov sent me an experimental build this morning. It ran out of the box. I was able to edit text with vim and surf the web with lynx. I found the speech a little choppier than eflite but easy to listen to. espeak has a much smaller memory footprint than eflite.

If you have an interest in tts, LFS may be an option.
