[gentoo-user] Speech-synthesizer ?

[meino.cramer]

Hi,

can someone recommend a speech synthesizer, which parameters like
voice (child/adult/male/female...and other) are configurable and
which is -not- festival? 

I treid festival and have failed to chance exactly
that parameters and according to postings, others have 
made the same expericence...

I am running a recent gentoo on a AMD64 platform.

What is the most promising application to emerge?

Thank you very much in advance for any hint/help!

Best regards and have a nice weekend!
Best regards,
mcc

Have you looked at espeak? Does it allow this type of configuration?

No, I didnt. The reason for posting here before installing, was
that I didnt know the answer to the question of the kind/possibility 
of  configuration.... :)
