tkvoice-1.0  completely  replaces  xvoicetool.   It incorporates wavplay
tools to let you record your "outgoing greeting" and play your  messages
through your sound card.     This program will always work regardless of
window manager  you decide to run  (ie/ KDE or GNOME)  as  this  sort of
application does not seem to have a high priority with these two popular
window managers.
