kttsd for Debian
================

ktts is the KDE Text-to-Speech System. More information may be found on the 
web page of the project:

  http://accessibility.kde.org/developer/kttsd/

kttsd plugins
=============

    kttsd comes with 3 kind of plugins:
     o AudioPlugins
     o FilterPlugins
     o SynthPlugins

    The synthetizer plugins rely on third party software, that you have to
    install in order to make them fully functional (see kttsd Recommends:
    field).

    That software are :
     o festival for the Festival Plugin.
     o epos for the epos plugin.
     o filte for the FLite plugin.
    They all are packaged in Debian.

    There is a Command Plugin also, that allow you to use any TTS synthetizer
    that has a command line interface.

kttsd contrib plugins
=====================

    kttsd comes also with free Synthetizer plugins, but depends upon non free
    software :
     o FreeTTS plugin.
     o Hadifix (mbrola/txt2pho) plugin.

    kttsd provides support for those plugins, but for using them they require 
    manual installation of third party, non free software to work.

    For additional instructions on downloading and configuring these engines for
    use in KTTS, please read the Appendix A of the kttsd handbook (either type
    help:/kttsd in konqueror, or run khelpcenter help:/kttsd).
