Another cool option is the Cepstral line of software synths.  They ain't
free but each voice can be bought for $29.95 for Mac, Linux, or Windows.
I might experiment with getting one of them to work with Speech
Dispatcher.  I would mainly use them for maybe things like DAISY book
publication and such.  They are very high quality human sounding voices.
They probably chew up a good quantity of CPU though.  Those high end
voices tend to do that.
