Depends on if you are looking for free voices or commercial voices. I
use the commercial Cepstral voices from
http://www.cepstral.com
and they work decently with Orca. All you have to do is install them
and then uncomment them from your speech-dispatcher.conf file. The
next time you login Callie, David, etc should be in your available
list of voices assuming you have the Swift configuration files for
Speech-Dispatcher installed which it should be.

Cheers!
