I've used Flite to generate voices in ATC simulations (so that you can listen to the commands between simulated pilots and controllers). It worked quite well, the speech was understandable quite well, even if it sounded very artificial. On the other hand, one could certain do a better voice for ATC as the vocabulary is very limited in this case.

Even if Flite is a little bit larger when beeing included (statically): 2,0M /usr/local/lib/libflite_cmu_us_kal.a 508K /usr/local/lib/libflite_usenglish.a 652K /usr/local/lib/libflite_cmulex.a 1,3M /usr/local/lib/libflite.a And I don't know how well Flite works on non-Unix platforms like windoze, and how active it is maintained currently...
