I've been struggling with espeak and festival for days and still get those weird voices. This sounds so much better and is ever faster! If you want to just play the spoken text on your linux pc in stead of saving the mp3, you can simply do the following: mplayer "http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=en&q=Hello+World" This will load the mp3 output from the Google service and play it to your speakers right away.
