Hello Christopher,
If you want a free voice better than espeak you can try mbrola voices.
Otherwise if you want a high quality voice, you can purchase Voxygen
from Hypra.
Best regards,
Alex.

These days, with Orca 3.29.1 Pre, Master, what TTS engines are out there available which speak English?
Obviously, I know about ESpeak, which is the default. There's Voxin, but we won't go there.
I dont' recall who the project was started by, but at one point I recall there being a project based off of
ESpeak. It basically was ESpeak, but it had somehow been modified through its code where it sounded, not
quite like Eloquence, but sort of. I think it was called ESpeak Speaker, or something along those lines. Kyle
was the one who way back in the days told me about it. I just don't remember where to get it, what it was
called, if it's still maintained, or how to install it.
Finally, someone told me the Swift Cepstral voices actually are available and if purchased will work with
Orca.
I know most of you here are very biased to ESpeak. My goal here isn't to say, why would you want X synth over
Y. I just want some resources where I can download other TTS voices which will work with Ubuntu, paid or not,
and the resources online which would talk me step by step through how to get them up and working with Orca.
Please keep your opinions about which TTS is crap and which is God of the universe to an unbiased level when
writing me back. I couldn't care less what you think is the best synth. I'd like to approach this question
from the bigger picture.
Chris.
