Hi,

There is still much work to be done in pronunciation and of course 
intonation. I am working on my own project that currently uses MBROLA to 
produce the sounds. We are somewhat limited by not having real
allophones, 
although in most cases the diphones are sufficient for a good quality 
sound. Perhaps more comprehensive voice databases will offer such things
as 
glottal stops. By the way, my project is entirely written in Prolog, so
it 
is portable to Linux.
