    Re: HOWTO: Make festival TTS use better voices (MBROLA / CMU / HTS)

    We will develop an additional festvox voice. Therefore I had to test the Festival installation process. So far the Nitech voices are the best I came across.
    Thanks for your helpful tutorial

    hi mrplow. I compiled Festival 2.1. successfully yesterday evening following the detailed instructions of every README and INSTALL text.

    But I had problems getting the Nitech voices to work due to "failed to load header of pdfs". [1] I didn't really understand the proposed solution so I was not able to solve the problem. I completely removed the files today and tried with the old repository version which worked like a charm.
