+MBROLA is a speech synthesizer based on the concatenation of
+diphones. It takes a list of phonemes as input, together with prosodic
+information (duration of phonemes and a piecewise linear description
+of pitch), and produces speech samples on 16 bits (linear), at the
+sampling frequency of the diphone database. It is therefore NOT a
+Text-To-Speech (TTS) synthesizer.
+
+Mbrola is used in conjunction with a TTS synthesizer. This script
+builds the standalone binary for use with a TTS such as espeak-ng,
+included with Slackware.
+
+You will need mbrola in order to utilize the mbrola voices included
+with espeak-ng.
