Hi,

you can try speech dispatcher http://www.freebsoft.org or
speech-dispatcher package in Debian. Speech dispatcher provide a several
output modules festival for examle. the advantage is that you can use
speech dispatcher for different client like orca, speakup for console or
speechd-el for emacs and still you have the same API for synthesisers.

If you will need some other points feel free write again.

Have a nice day
