If you refer to William Acker as being the previous developer of espeak, no speculation at all is necessary. In Amateur Radio Terminology he became a Silent Key about three years ago. Others might say he went for reincarnation. The obituary was on the speakup list shortly after that happened.

OpenSUSE's website is
https://opensuse.org/
You can get more information and download it from there. OpenSUSE ships with espeak, as most distros do, although some distros are packaging espeak-ng now, which is the continuation of Espeak, since the previous developer of Espeak itself seems to have fallen off the face of the earth as of about 3 years ago. There is lots of speculation surrounding what may have happened to him, but that's all we have. Well, that and the continuation, which has been named espeak-ng.
