hi,
the best text2speech software for linux is undoubtedly festival . .. then you can call it from PD with the shell object.. no need to make an external in my opinion except if you want to start a whole set of objects where you could have formant generators, syllabi generators, ... but that's a lot of work.
cheers,
yves/

hi i'm not shure, if a single object can handle a complex process like speech synthesis. i rather have the idea of a modular system (which still could be realized
in
pd) whith a kind of physical model of the anatomic speech-producing parts
of
the body and a rather complicated interface-speech to control it and a way to interprets/translates text to it. sÃme.

Hello.
First, I admit that I have not yet played with any of the text->speech
(on
linux) software so I don't know which one is what. However, I'd be interested in using smething like that with(in) pd. Has anyone done anything like that? Any ideas? If there's anything I miss from Max is
the
ispeak object :)
