Festival: Text to Speech on Linux

If you are MS$ fan, you are lucky obtained the MS native Text to Speech and Speech Recognition system. Fortunately, for a Unix-like user, Festival provides such a system. I am using the Ubuntu Linux. To enable Speech to Text, I installed these packages: festival and festvox-kallpc16k. Then, I tested by putting these command:

echo "It's such a beautiful day! Why are you in front of the computer?" \\
 | festival --tts

Wow! It is such a cool noise. For more tutorial on Festival, please refer to this page:
