Current state

Today, the development of programs and new technologies connected with speech synthesis under GNU/Linux is centered around two main points: visually impaired people and pure development. Although some fields are beginning to use synthesis for different purposes, like telephony servers, these are still like drops of water in the ocean. Here is a short (definitely not exhaustive list) software synthesizers, hardware synthesizers and applications known to work under GNU/Linux.

  1. Speech Synthesizers

  2. Speaking applications

We hope to be able to integrate Speech Daemon into these projects in the future.
