About eSpeak:
eSpeak is a compact open source software speech synthesizer for English and other languages.

eSpeak produces good quality English speech. It uses a different synthesis method from other open source TTS engines, and sounds quite different. It`s perhaps not as natural or `smooth`, but I find the articulation clearer and easier to listen to for long periods.

It can run as a command line program to speak text from a file or from stdin.

* Includes different Voices, whose characteristics can be altered.
* Can produce speech output as a WAV file.
* SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language) is supported (not complete), and also HTML.
* Compact size. The program and its data, including several languages.
* Can translate text to phoneme codes, so it could be adapted as a front end for another speech synthesis engine.
* Potential for other languages. Several are included in varying stages of progress. Help from native speakers for these or other languages is welcomed.
* Development tools available for producing and tuning phoneme data.
* Written in C++.
