The GNOME Speech library gives a simple yet general API for programs to convert text into speech, as well as speech input. . This package provides the source code required to compile a driver for the commercial swift speech synthesis engine and voices from Cepstral (http://www.cepstral.com/). Upon installation, it will automatically attempt to compile and install the swift-synthesis-driver binary required to use GNOME Speech with swift. . This package is only useful if the swift engine is already installed on the system.
