drochner 44e7a0317a import espeak-1.28, a speech synthesizer
(It is GPLv3; up to version 1.26 it was GPLv2 but those are too buggy
to be used with gnome-speech.)

eSpeak is a compact open source software speech synthesizer for English and
other languages.
eSpeak produces good quality English speech. It uses a different synthesis
method from other open source TTS engines, and sounds quite different.
It's perhaps not as natural or "smooth", but I find the articulation clearer
and easier to listen to for long periods.
