Oh my! Thank you Mr. Nico! :) I will pick up a smaller project for google summer of code. However, I am too much obsessed with voice recognition systems. But now I understand that it is not a small issue. Someday, I will surely work on speech synthesis. As you mentioned above, it is certainly not doable in small span of SoC. Thanks once again! :)
