Festival would be such a system:

    General multi-lingual speech synthesis system

    Festival offers a full text to speech system with various
    APIs, as well an environment for development and research of
    speech synthesis techniques. It includes a Scheme-based
    command interpreter.

See http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/

However, it is hardly installed by default.
