What about using ESpeak or other software synths? Also, are you saying that Speakup is unmaintained? I see commits every few days and the bugs which I've reported all got fixed. Granted there is not a company developing it, but there aren't very many people testing it either. I think your statement that Orca is maintained by Sun and Speakup isn't is unfair and misleading.
