- simcop2387 13y agoYes it does SAPI[1]. There's a few for linux but nothing that's become any kind of standard unfortunately, festival tends to have the best voices but is a bit of a pain to use inside another program in my experience.

- rob_mccann 13y agoIt originally used festival but it was a pain to install on the Pi (which I want this to run on) and the voices I tried weren't as easy to understand. I'd love for it to be an option, though.
