Priti and team: Congrats! It's nice to have Festival in Indian languages. Just what is needed. Hope this news will be shared with all the GNU/Linux user groups and others interested. (Have sent it to ILUG-Goa http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ilug-goa already.)
For those who might not know Festival:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festival_Speech_Synthesis_System
Festival is a general multi-lingual speech synthesis system developed at Centre for Speech Technology Research (CSTR) at the University of Edinburgh. It is distributed under a free software license similar to the BSD License.
It offers a full text to speech system with various APIs, as well an environment for development and research of speech synthesis techniques. It is written in C++ with a Scheme-based command interpreter for general customization and extension.[1]
The Festvox project aims to make the building of new synthetic voices more systematic and better documented, making it possible for anyone to build a new voice. It is distributed under a free software license similar to the MIT License.
