That's great. Sound like you have tried Flite on teh StrongARM architecture.
What is this eflite? How much memory do the speech libraries for flite take
up? You must ahev heard of a Linux PDA in themaking from India. IT is called
the Simputer. It has been designed with speech as primary outout but the
pain is that its primary input is a touch screen. However we hope that they
will get a variant with a keypad.  They have targeted computing in Indian
languages. So they don; t yet have an englih synth implemented on it.
Simputer alsouses the Strong ARM processor. If flite is being ported to ARM
it is good news for us.
