I just tried it on my somewhat modified version of Ubuntu 10.04 x64 (I run Vinux). Espeakup doesn't sound bad, but it's chopping off the end of words. I don't know what that's about. Espeakup is nice, but I believe ospeakup feeding into opentts is better. On Vinux, we run a patched version of speechd-up feeding into speech-dispatcher, which has some patches from the ospeakup fork of speechd-up. It's almost exactly like espeakup, but it also works with voxin, which is what I prefer. We run a system-wide copy of speech-dispatcher for use by just speakup, so the reliability is rock solid. Just edit /etc/defaults/speech-dispatcher to enable this. If you like, you can get our patched speechd-up package from the Vinux/Lucid PPA. By the way, if you're running the desktop version of Ubuntu Lucid, I think you'll be happier if you run pulseaudio in system-wide mode.
