accurate francais text to speech audio on my Hardy box? Or another
solution I haven't thought of?

Personally, I kinda doubt it, but since I don't know anyone from
France, and don't know of an easy way to contact those mythical
people, I'm grasping at straws. It would be cool if someone like that
was on this list, but even then I couldn't ask since this list is for
Ubuntu related technical questions, and I wouldn't want to wander that
far off topic and get everybody mad at me....


Hi,

To continue far off topic I may be able to help you with your French since I
speak it currently and we're not yet mythical at least not that I know..
You can contact me privately if that can help you
Sincerely
Meg
