+Festival is an advanced multi-lingual speech synthesis system
+developed at CSTR. It offers a full text to speech system with various
+APIs, as well an environment for development and research of speech
+synthesis techniques. It is written in C++ with a Scheme-based command
+interpreter for general control.
+
+You will also need to install at least one festvox-* (festival voice)
+package (infact, the festvox packages are dependent on this package).
+
+festival --tts foo.bar will speak ASCII file foo.bar, (SayText "Oh
+Dad! We're ALL Devo!")
