In all the posts on this topic, other than the one wav file output, I have seen a lot of alphabet soup like the above. Nora has done Lojban TTS since it was still Loglan, using a hardware box from Radio Shack that she bought in the early 80s, but never had much luck with the only s/w program we ever saw for TTS (Soundblaster freeware). So where is the software you guys are talking about and if it isn't a download, about how much does it cost and where do you get it. Nora uses Win98 on her computer. (If there is a way to work with this stuff using Java, she is trying to teach herself that language and is looking for a project to work on. Suggestions welcome, but phrase them suitably for an absolute novice with Java who does not know C - the buzzwords have been somewhat intimidating so far).
