MBROLA is often mentioned in the Festival literature and code. They appear to be essentially compatible, and some example MBROLA voices are included. It should be possible to write non-Scheme routines to handle the non-dsp, lexical analysis, conversion to phonemes, etc. to feed to something like MBROLA. A Windows version would be nice to have, fer sure. -Jack
