[Using Sakai] Text-To-Speech (TTS)

[Mark J. Norton]

Sakai has been tested in the past against text readers.  Overall, there 
is support for accessibility.  There are several open source TTS 
applications around.  eSpeak is a SourceForge project, Babelfish has the 
MBROLA project, one called MARY from Germany, etc.
