Does anyone know of public domain text-to-speech synthesis software that
would be suitable for the SparcStation?  It is clearly doable, since an
old Mac with an 8 MHz 68000 does a passable job.  I am looking for
something reasonable, it does not have to sound perfect.  Do I have to
wait until Sun offers a "speech toolkit" at $2000 per station?  -:)
