@forteller eSpeak NG is more tolerable, even entirely acceptable for some of us, if you speed it up, but I knew I couldn't run the voice at the speed I typically use, when doing a demo for a mixed audience.

@matt Sorry for bursting in on this fantastic stuff you're doing and demoing with a complaint! I just don't want my blind brothers and sisters in Linux/Gnome to also go deaf, you know? 😉

Thanks again! Happy to hear that there's work ongoing on the voice too!

@forteller No problem, it's a valid concern. Really though, a lot of us who use this stuff every day are fine with eSpeak. I'm using it right now, by choice.

@matt That sounds like some kind of Stockholm syndrome to me. But hey, as long as you and other users are happy, I'm happy! 😄
