There's also the rsynth package - it configures fine for FreeBSD using NAS or
/dev/audio. It also has pointer to various text->phoneme dictionaries - works
well. It's a lot better in its quality of output than speak. It's over in the
UK somewhere.. svr-ftp.eng.cam.ac.uk, some directory in the speech archives.
The latest version is 2.0. See Nick Ing-Simmons, Nick.Ing-Simmons@tiuk.ti.com.
