+<h3>New Festival Vietnamese Voices</h3>
+
+<p>Two diphone Vietnamese voices for the Festival Interactive plugin are \
available at</p> +
+<p><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/vietnamesevoice">http://sourceforge.net/projects/vietnamesevoice</a></p>
 +
+<p>To use these voices, choose <em>Other</em> language when adding a \
<em>Talker</em>. +Choose <em>Vietnamese</em> as the language and \
<em>Festival Interactive</em> as the plugin. +In the <em>Talker \
Configuration</em> dialog, enter the following settings:</p> +
+<p>
+<ul>
+<li>Voice code: wow_vi_ptn_diphone or wow_vi_liz_diphone</li>
+<li>Character Encoding: UTF-8</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+
+<p>The volume and speed may be adjusted, but not pitch.</p>
+
+<p>The Festival Interactive plugin will recognize these voices if you add \
the following +lines to file \
$KDEDIR/share/apps/kttsd/festivalint/voices</p> +
+<pre style="border: 1pt dashed #D1D1D1; margin-left: 2em; padding: 1em;">

+  &lt;language&gt;vi&lt;/language&gt;
+  &lt;codec&gt;UTF-8&lt;/codec&gt;
+  &lt;gender&gt;male&lt;/gender&gt;
+  &lt;preload&gt;false&lt;/preload&gt;
+  &lt;volume-adjustable&gt;true&lt;/volume-adjustable&gt;
+  &lt;speed-adjustable&gt;true&gt;&lt;/speed-adjustable&gt;
+  &lt;pitch-adjustable&gt;false&lt;/pitch-adjustable&gt;
+  &lt;name&gt;Vietnamese Male&lt;/name&gt;
+&lt;/voice&gt;
+
+&lt;voice&gt;
+  &lt;code&gt;wow_vi_liz_diphone&lt;/code&gt;
+  &lt;language&gt;vi&lt;/language&gt;
+  &lt;codec&gt;UTF-8&lt;/codec&gt;
+  &lt;gender&gt;female&lt;/gender&gt;
+  &lt;volume-adjustable&gt;true&lt;/volume-adjustable&gt;
+  &lt;speed-adjustable&gt;true&lt;/speed-adjustable&gt;
+  &lt;pitch-adjustable&gt;false&lt;/pitch-adjustable&gt;
+  &lt;name&gt;Vietnamese Female&lt;/name&gt;

be included in a future version of KTTS.</p> +
