If your robot happens to be running Linux or a BSD, you can probably use
librsynth to create speech.

It does require the libgdm2 development libraries to be installed to build.
You'll also need to find a speech dictionary.

Re: Speech synthesis


Does this package do text-to-speech as well as synthesis?  If so, how does it
compare to Festival (speed, quality, etc.)?

Re: Speech synthesis



"Big" text to speech, like full documents, or "small" text to speech like a
line or two?

It comes with a program called "say" which can be used as:

say "I'm afraid I can't do that dave"

Re: Speech synthesis


Yes, it does tts, but it's no where near Festival's level of quality.
You can hear samples at http://wwwtios.cs.utwente.nl/say/
