re-sending this: are you interested in natural sounding TTS voices for Linux by Readspeaker? demo link included

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi!
I really don’t get if this is going to be included in a  distro or if they all-ready exist for Linux?
I don’t know how many languages are supported either.
If Swedish and other  languages such as Finnish is supported then its  great but as I said I mostly use braille and still will do that as long as I can.
But of corse its great with a natural sounding tts.

And yes, Didier, I began a similar discussion some years ago, but you know if we don't gently-and-occasionally suggest access to these speech engines, we may never enjoy comprible voice experiences as Android or the Mac. Meanwhile Gene mentions Voxygen. I think some1 from that company actually replied last time around, but this person didn't seem  to be aware of Speakup or any console speech. I cannot find any Hypra voice samples, but for a youtube video, completely in French. Mostly their site talks about a cloud API service.
