The LarsWiki list is incomplete. There's also eSpeak: http://espeak.sourceforge.net/ You didn't say what language you wanted, but your email's timezone suggests British English, which eSpeak does. "Best for certain reasons"? If you want natural sounding speech then try Festival's large MultiSyn voices: http://www.festvox.org/festival/downloads.html http://www.festvox.org/packed/festival/1.95/VOICES.README For general screen reader use where responsiveness and intelligibility are more important, some people prefer eSpeak. I also prefer it for reading text files and emails, but then I'm probably biased :-) -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
