Hi, 
Well even if speech-dispatcher is not a option eflite standing for emacs
flite should be a option.  It is a emacspeak server quite easy to
install under debien work with emacspeak and yasr.  Considering the fact
that freedom box runs under gnome it should also be able to use
gnome-speech so one of thoughs options should be possible.  This would
also give it access to the cepstral voices.  They sound very nice by the
way.  
Conversation about the ceo of the company are sort of beside the point
here.  I also must note that mat did not respond to any of my original
questions when I posted them to the list a few days ago.

Hello,
I can't make any comments on whether freedombox does track activities
and 
add to the spam problems.
I think it is a great shame that there is no plan to build support for 
festival or flite into the linux version of freedom box. I really
dislike 
the dectalk voices and find those harder to understand than festival.
Trying 
to include support for speech-dispatcher if possible might be a good 
solution (I don't know whether it would meet the technical requirements
or 
not). The comment about using freedombox if it was free with festival as
a 
synth, well I wouldn't use dectalk even if it was free, so the price
wasn't 
coming into it there.
You can see where the emphasis is in the company, there is not even a 
comment about linux in the information about freedombox on their website

(not even a mention in listing operating systems, would it be too much
to 
just have it say "works with windows 98 or later, or linux"). Due to
that, 
if I had found it by searching the internet, I would not even have
bothered 
looking further.
