I tried downloading the OSX version of eSpeak but wasn't able to get
very far with it. Of course I've never used the tool before. I
downloaded it from here:
http://espeak.sourceforge.net/download.html
but when I typed
./speak "The quick brown fox"
it gave the error:
Can't read data file: '/usr/share/espeak-data/phontab'
I didn't have time to fiddle much more and figure out what files were
supposed to live in that path.

The developers have never been very open to the idea, but I think
that's mostly because the Mac API for making a voice is complex. I've
given it a try, a couple times, and didn't get far because I don't
know enough about the mechanics of speech synthesis.

Hi all. As a long-time user of both Windows and the mac, I keep
wondering why eSpeak hasn't been ported to work with voiceover and
the mac speech API. If Eloquence can be ported, why on earth can't
eSpeak, being open source and a native linux program, be ported? Is
Eloquence just that good, and mac users so into windows that
Eloquence, a native windows app, just has to b ported, in a rather
weird form with only one voice and a few weird bugs, rather than
eSpeak, with its many languages, amazing pronounciation and
configurability? And I don't want just a "type text and push that
there play button and hear it talk" little toy app. I want it to be
selectable in the VO speech pane of the utility, as a system voice,
and usable in the say fuction of the terminal. Is that really,
really too much to ask for of an open source program? If so, then
open source is just as unreliable as regular freeware.
