Hello, You can use espeak and create your own voices, or modify current ones, to your liking, then use the espeak command to pipe a text file to a .wav file. After that, depending on what version of sox you have, you can use that to convert your .wav fie, if youprefer a different format, to something else. Hope that helps.
