Flite (Festival Lite) for Maemo and Nokia 770 Internet Tablet

Note: the project is (has been for a while) frozen.

This is the project page of an attempt to create a Finnish language text-to-speech system for the Maemo platform and Nokia 770  Internet Tablet. As a side effect, also English language version of Flite is ported to these systems.

Currently I have successfully compiled and run Flite on Maemo SDK both under PC and ARM target. I'd be interested in knowing if it also runs on the actual target device.

News

03 Dec. 2005 Sound output doesn't work on 770. Flite must be recompiled for libSDL.

10 Jan. 2006 Binaries moved to another server (over quota). After a month of inactivity I finally have time for this project.

17 Jan. 2006 Sound output should work on 770 too if you configure the device for oss like here.

Download and installation instructions

The resulting preliminary flite binaries for testing on both architectures are here.
The source code can be downloaded here.

Screenshots ;-)
