+MBROLA is a speech synthesizer based on the concatenation of
+diphones. It takes a list of phonemes as input, together with prosodic
+information (duration of phonemes and a piecewise linear description
+of pitch), and produces speech samples on 16 bits (linear), at the
+sampling frequency of the diphone database.
+
+It is therefore NOT a Text-To-Speech (TTS) synthesizer, since it does
+not accept raw text as input. In order to obtain a full TTS system,
+you need to use this synthesizer in combination with a text processing
+system that produces phonetic and prosodic commands.
+
+We maintain a web page with pointers to such freely available systems:
+
+http://tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis/mbrtts.html
+
+This software is the heart of the MBROLA project, the aim of which is
+to obtain a set a speech synthesizers for as many languages as
+possible, free of use for non-commercial applications.
+mbrola.exe or mbrola: An executable file of the synthesizer itself
+(depends on the computer supposed to run it)
+readme.txt : This file
+
+As such, it requires an MBROLA language/voice database to run
+properly. American English, Brazilian Portuguese, Breton, British
+English, Croatian, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Romanian, Spanish and
+Swedish voices are made available. Additional languages and voices
+will be available in the context of the MBROLA project.
+
+Some of these voices are available as mbrolavox-* packages, in the
+NetBSD packages system. For otheres, please consult the mbrola
+project's home page.
