	I am looking for speech synthesis for blind people (english
 and french). I saw somes solutions in the FAQ but it seems to have a
lot more solutions.

	Since I am looking for multilingual speech synthesis on DOS
computer, there is only two solutions remaining. The first solution,
Text-To-Speech SDK from Lernout & Hauspie and the second, Infovox.

	The first one seems a lot bigger than what I
need (Why would I need Microsoft(R) Visual C++ or Borland C++ ?)
and since this package is for blind people I'd rather not use
windows.

	The second might be fine but I am still waiting for an answer
from infovox.

	I saw somes articles about packages that are not in the FAQ.
Does somebody have informations that might help me ?
