This is the source package.
Flite (festival-lite) is a small, fast run-time synthesis engine developed at CMU and primarily designed for small embedded machines and/or
large servers. Flite is designed as an alternative synthesis engine to Festival for voices built using the FestVox suite of voice building
tools.
Flite 1.2-release is now released as source with a pre-built binary for ipaq Linux. Flite offers:
* Completely in C (no C++ or Scheme) for portability, size and speed
* Reimplentation of the core parts of the Festival architecture (HRG) allowing close compabilility between voices built for each system.
* Support for compiling FestVox voices into Flite voices.
* Thread safe
* Scalable voice size with all data const so it can be in ROM
* Target architectures, ipaq (Linux/WinCE) and smaller
Flite is in basically written and is in its first stages of testing before release, as free software. A small diphone voice based on the CMU
KAL voice is included. along with a sample limited domain talking clock.
