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.
