Comparison of speech synthesizers on wikipedia
Conclusions:
“eSpeak” topped the ranking: GPL, many languages, multi OS. Its only flaw is its very low quality. In practice, this raises the problem of understanding. It still remains that we have to integrate default, especially for GPL compliance. It is the most universal.
Then comes “MBrola”, although it is not free software, it is freely redistributable for non commercial projects, free, available in many languages and it is especially good in terms of understanding. So we will be able to use it.
“SVOX Pico” has the advantage of being open source, good quality and multi OS. But it is only available in a few languages.
