Re: changes to voice files

The makevoices script lets you use your own SAPI speech engines. If you
mean manually recording your own voice, you just take the english.lang
file and record a wav file for each lang_xxx, where xxx is the ID. You
can grab the english.lang file from CVS or a source package. You then
assemble the wavs using the voicefont tool on the VoiceFiles page,
although it still takes a lang file in the old format. You will need the
converted lang file to manage that; I gave a URL in previous email.
