    Did you read the Windows Support section of the Installation docs?

    Flite has been successfully compiled by a number of different groups under Windows CE. The system should compile under Embedded Visual Studio but we not have the full details.

    The system as distributed does compile under the gcc mingw32ce toolchain available from http://cegcc.sourceforge.net/. The current version can be compiled and run under WinCE with a primitive application called flowm. flowm is a simple application that allows playing of typed-in text, or full text to speech on a file. Files should be a simple ascii text files *.txt. The application allows the setting of the byte position to start synthesis from.

    Assuming you have mingw32ce installed you can configure as

    ./configure --target=arm-wince
    make
    

    The resulting binary is given in wince/flowm.exe. If you copy this onto your Windows Mobile device and run it, it should allow you to speak typed-in text and any *.txt files you have on your device.
