Festival offers a general framework for building speech synthesis systems as well as including examples of various modules. There is basic support for building the system under Windows NT and 95. We intend to distribute binariary distributions for major architectures particularly Linux and Solaris. The system may be used, copied, modified and distributed for free for research, educational and individual use.
