Hi Unfortunately what you get in that file is what's called a limited domain voice. This means it only knows how to say certain things, such as numbers for the time. The generic voices sound exactly like flite, unless you link it to the mbrola voices. That will give you better quality but it will be much less responsive. Based on what I've experimented with I'd say freetts and festival are on par with responsiveness, flite being much faster. And since FreeTTS's generic voices are identical to flite's, I wind up just using flite when I need software speech.
