EFlite is a software that facilitates communication between Emacspeak and other screen readers and Festival Lite through a speech server. This enables the screen readers to interface with Festival Lite.
One of the most significant advantages of EFlite is its use of Festival Lite's code for the interface with the sound driver. This key feature allows EFlite to function smoothly with some versions of ALSA, meaning you can customize it to meet your specific needs.
However, before you dive in, it's good to note that EFlite currently works primarily with the OSS sound drivers. That's not to say other drivers won't work, it just hasn't been extensively tested yet.
If you're looking for a reliable tool that will allow customizable, streamlined access to your speech server, EFlite is worth checking out. The new version comes with bug fixes, improvements, and support for shared libraries, making it an even more appealing option for those in search of a comprehensive speech solution.
