Mbrola Espeak Confusing

[christopher.lemire at gmail.com]

I was about to continue developing my Text To Speech software some more, and have it use mbrola voices.

I looked at the documentation here.

file:///usr/share/doc/espeak/mbrola.html (note: this opens in Firefox or your webbrowser of choice.)

And it says

"The Mbrola voices are cost-free but are not open source. They are available from the Mbrola website at:
http://www.tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis/mbrola/mbrcopybin.html"

So I go to that website, and there are many downloads listed. I'd like to know what the differences are and what each download is for.

From the website:

# LINUX i386 / ppc / alpha / ultra1                           <-- these I am not certain about
# LINUX / Pocket PC                                              <-- This must be for a PDA running Linux
# LINUX / Ircha / Mbrola / ES1 DBA / Z80                <-- I don't know what the different downloads here are for, but I'd like to know
                                                                                 what each are. They may all be beneficial to the program I am creating.
# AMD64/Linux                                                      <-- this one is obviously for Linux users running a 64-bit kernel
# ARM/Linux (tested on Nokia N800 and N810)         <-- this one is obvious it runs on cell phones

Could someone please explain. It's not the programming I am stuck on. It is things like this that I must understand in order to further the program. If you'd like to try out the program, it's available here. It runs with the java included from the package sun-java6-jre. You wlil already have this package if you have installed sun-java6-plugin, the sun java plugin for web browsers.

It runs with the command
java -jar TTSReader.jar
