=======================
* 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.

The gnome-speech 0.4.10 release is designated for all releases of GNOME 
since v2.12, though it has only been tested on GNOME 2.20, GNOME 2.22, 
and trunk.

=========================================
* What's changed for gnome-speech 0.4.20?
=========================================

* Fix for bug #535493 - eSpeak driver can block.  The fix adds a list 
mechanism to handle utterances to be spoken and then processes them on 
the gidle thread.  Also raised the maximum speech rate for eSpeak.

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