Once again hello Roman: We are working on developing a software synth which hopefully we can include in speakup at some point in the future. Currently we need to do a considerable amount of redesign before we can build in any software synthesis. Our software synth is based on the rsynth package and will support the DoubleTalk command set when finished.
