Although the quality of languages is very variable, it is possible to use it for MANY languages in a way that it is understandable (useful). The span is even wider than documented, because for example for Czech it is possible to use it with the Polish voice and understand it. I believe this is the case for other close languages too. And I'm amazed on how fast voices for new languages are being added, although of only basic quality. eFlite is nowhere near this... > Disclaimer: I can't promise anything regarding adding espeak.
