* Package name : freespeech Version : 1.0m Upstream Author : Steve Isard, Alistair Conkie * URL : https://github.com/poretsky/freespeech * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : English text preprocessor for MBROLA speech synthesizer This software originates from the old archive found at http://tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis/mbrola/tts/English/fs.a10m.tar.gz. It contains English text to phoneme converter and pronunciation dictionary that being used along with mbrola speech synthesizer can provide full TTS functionality for English language. The mbrola package description in fact mentions freephone as a preprocessor along with cicero and espeak, but freephone itself is a part of this package. Thus, I think, it would be reasonable to have it in Debian as well. Looking for a sponsor to upload.
