I need to install speech-dispatcher-ibmtts, but the repo doesn't seem to
have it. Is there another repo I need to enable? If so, how do I do
that? I tried looking for a sources.list file, but have done enough
reading to see that Fedora doesn't seem to use sources.list.
IIRC, IBMTTS is partly-commercial (you have to have the speech engine
and that's commercial). As such, you probably won't find it packaged for
Fedora as there's a fairly strict policy against commercial, patent-
or copyright-infringing software distributed with Fedora.
There is a pyibmtts module available from sourceforge that you'd have
to build from source and, again, you need that commercial speech engine
(which probably isn't available for current Linux versions--the latest
I could find during a cursory search was 10 years old). You might have
to try free TTS engines. Some are fairly good. Have a look at some of
the stuff for Asterisk (the Linux-based PBX system).
