I've added a new English voice to eSpeak 1.19 named "en-r".
This is a "rhotic" accent, i.e. it pronounces "r" sounds even when they
are not followed by a vowel, and so it should sound less "British" to
an American user.
eSpeak is available from http://espeak.sourceforge.net/
It now comes with two versions of the command-line program:
1. "espeak", this is a very small program which uses libespeak shared
library for the speech engine.
2. "speak", this is a stand-alone version which doesn't use the shared
library.
It's possible that "espeak" may have a slight advantage in
responsiveness over "speak".
