I assume you are using the Danish synthesizer and not the English one?
If so, then that suggests that espeak's Danish voice needs some help.
Regardless, Orca talks to speech-dispatcher and speech-dispatcher talks
to the synthesizer. So if you can find a sythesizer you like that works
with speech-dispatcher, then you should be set.

Hope this helps.
