talking computer

When I was at a local LUG meeting, the speaker mentioned that on many Linux systems there is a package named festival that translates text into speach. I checked my system and sure enough festival was on the cd, so I installed it and tried it.

It works pretty well given that its version number is lower than 1. It works both as an application and as a server. I guess it is possible to write a program that speakes its results instead of printing them.

I wonder what other fun stuff comes with Fedora that I don't know about.
