Hi Dave:
Yes, ttsynth uses IBM's viavoice. It is available from Capital Accessibility.
If you're agreeable, I'll write Janina a note and I feel certain she'd work with
you to resolve the problem. It's not free, however. $40.00, US.
I have 3.8 working now in a terminal window. However, when I go to a
full-screen session, alt+ctrl+f7 in Ubuntu, I get the message "not in text
mode". Is their a cure for this?
