+MBROLA based American English female voice for the festival speech
+synthesis system.
+
+This voice provides a American English female voice using the MBROLA
+synthesis method. It uses a modified CMU lexicon for pronunciations.
+Prosodic phrasing is provided by a statistically trained model using
+part of speech and local distribution of breaks. Intonation is
+provided by a CART tree predicting ToBI accents and an F0 contour
+generated from a model trained from natural speech. The duration
+model is also trained from data using a CART tree.
+
