Use ALSA or Pulse Audio for the audio output. If you donвЂ™t like the quality of the built in voices (I wouldnвЂ™t blame you), then you can use another enhanced voiceВ synthesizer project called вЂњMbrolaвЂќ (more below). For instance, you can input some texts (say written in English) and can simply use the output language to вЂњFrenchвЂќ. It even lets you translate between a huge list of languages too!. You can manually adjust voice settings such as: Comes with inbuilt вЂњMaleвЂќ and вЂњFemaleвЂќ voices (the ones come with вЂњespeakвЂќ). But because Gespeaker is a GUI, anyone can use the вЂњespeakвЂќ engine easily to do things like to add few additional voices, easily add texts, record etc. This is actually a graphical front-end that uses the вЂњespeakвЂќ (command-line based speech synthesizer, cross-platform tool) as the engine. If youвЂ™re looking for an ease to use text to speech utility that can be used in GNU/Linux (Ubuntu in this case) then Gespeaker is a tool that you can try. They may not be as advanced as some of those premium (and proprietary ones) tool, but there are few noteworthy open source projects too.

If youвЂ™re willing to pay some decent amount of money and use Windows or Mac OS X, then there are pretty awesome proprietary text to speech engines available. The text to voice/speech conversions is a great example. But there are certain fields that computers have shown pretty interesting вЂњcapabilitiesвЂќ too. Computers are still pretty dumb (as far as I know :D) and still suck while trying to do things like interacting using human languages for instance.
