If I start using espeak a lot, i will probably develop a British accent. Espeak does pretty well with the parrot line and the Bond line but it doesn't sound much like Winston Churchill. When I was playing with it the other night, I contemplated seeing if I could mess with the parameters to make it do a ppassible job on the "finest hour" line. That's how much fun I was having with it. But I realized that would be a ridiculous waste of time so I restrained myself.
