=======================
* What is gnome-speech?
=======================

Gnome-speech provides a simple general API for producing text-to-speech
(TTS) output.  It also provides drivers for several TTS engines, both
commercial and open source.

This release is designated for GNOME 2.17/2.18 and also works with GNOME
2.16.

========================================
* What's changed for gnome-speech 0.4.7?
========================================

* Incorporated gnome-speech driver for Cepstral's Swift engine.  Many
thanks to Cepstral for providing us with a development kit to do the
work!!! There are still some known problems, the main one being that you
hear chirps and pops when the speech is interrupted.  We have a support
request into Cepstral for help with this, and hope to be able to resolve
(or at least understand) it before the GNOME 2.18 release.

* Incorporated gnome-speech driver for ViaVoice into sample spec file.

* Incorporated docs from IBM (thanks) regarding how to build RPMs.

=====================
* Where can I get it?
=====================
