I haven't for example seen swedish beeing supported.
BUt with espeak you can just change to swedish.

I would probably use it with a netbook maybe with my asus eeepc1000, I also need the be able to convert my work to ms office and vice versa, maybe get into some other stuff as well. so what distribution aand software you would recommend. I would also use brltty 4.2 probably either with focus blue braille display or brailliant braille display and also which speech software you'd recommend?
