Hi, Shane: I'm not myself competent to give you a really intelligent answer about all these details. However, I can tell you that we're supported by multiple speech drivers in open source, inclugind gnome-speech, py-ibmtts, and our own speakup-connector. You can certainly look at the source of these without spending money for the TTSynth product. I believe you'll find multiple approaches.
