I haven't tried it with festival, but the flite engine seems to work
pretty cool.  The one thing that really struck me was how you could
select a text area in KPDF and have it read back to you.

Festival is probably a better bet, with more voices and such.  I
stopped the build on it when it tried to pull in an older version of
gcc.  Seemed it a bit much for just a curiosity.  That's why I went
with flite.

Later on,
