Hello Cleverson,

>From my side, this is the first time I meet such a TTS: fully free
(GPL) and where new languages can be added relatively easily. 

As far as I know, Orca may currently use eSpeak through
speech-dispatcher. By default in Ubuntu, Orca relies on gnome-speech
rather than speech-dispatcher. I guess that gnome-speech has no eSpeak
driver at the moment. So the user currently has to tweak a little bit
his system for using eSpeak. 

In principle, another solution could be also an eSpeak speech server
from Emacspeak :-).

Cheers,

Gilles
