CMU Flite (festival-lite) is a small, fast run-time
open source text to speech synthesis engine
developed at CMU and primarily designed for small embedded
machines and/or large servers. Flite is designed as an
alternative text to speech synthesis engine to Festival for voices built
using the FestVox suite of
voice building tools.
