I'm currently using the CMU Arctic female voice. It's not bad. Though
it seems they have gone to recorded snippets of sounds and are blending
them together to build the words. So you end up with some dis-connect
in tones across some words. I could be wrong as I haven't looked at
this too deeply yet.
Still, I think the female voice does a better job than the default male
voice. But it'll be like picking a Linux distro - try out a few till
you find one that works for you.

I came across Festival, via Ktts and Kmouth. You can pipe text into
it via a command line script. Something like this:
echo "I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave." | festival --tts
Which means that ANYTHING that can be boiled down to a text steam is
fair game. Doing a "cat somefile" works just as well.
With a little digging, I managed to switch the voice to a female
voice, though it still is not quite as smooth as it should be.
I think my next task then is to write a script that can create the
summary statements I want. Python seems to have some speech
capabilities...

Are there any good voices for Festival or Flite? I tried those awhile
back and they didn't sound very easy to listen to.
