      espeak - a compact open source software speech synthesizer

Since espeak is under the LGPL, isn't it "free source" rather than
"open source"?

The project website seems to refer to itself as "eSpeak".  Shouldn't we
also?

   http://espeak.sourceforge.net/

The DESCRIPTION section says this:

      Additional  information  is  also  available  from  the fol-
      lowing site:

      http://espeak.sourceforge.net/

However, this information is normally put in the "SEE ALSO" section.
Refer to other manpages which refer to website project links.  The
libespeak manpage has a similar issue.

The description of the -f option makes no sense to me, at least not
after the "If neither...".

      -f text file            Speak text from text file.  If  nei-
                              ther  -f nor --stdin, words are spo-
                              ken, or if none then text is  spoken
                              from stdin, each line separately.

      -v voice name           Use voice file  of  this  name  from
                              espeak-data/voices.

You don't mention espeak-data/voices in the FILES section below.
If it is a useful interface, it should be descirbed there also.
