Espeak is a more modern speech synthesis package than Festival. It sounds clearer but does wail a little. If you are making an alien or a RPi witch then it’s the one for you! Seriously it is a good allrounder with great customisation options.

Install Espeak with:

sudo apt-get install espeak

Test Espeak with: English female voice, emphasis on capitals (-k), speaking slowly (-s) using direct text:-

 espeak -ven+f3 -k5 -s150 "I've just picked up a fault in the AE35 unit"
