I like Cepstral.

Using the information here:
http://www.oldskoolphreak.com/tfiles/voip/installing_app_cepstral.txt

You can install app_cepstral after you have installed the package and libs from 
Cepstral.

Then you can do something like this:

[macro-cepstral-demo]
exten => s,1,Cepstral(<voice name="Duchess">Hello and welcome to the world of 
text to speech using
Cepstral.  My name is Duchess.</voice>)
exten => s,n,Cepstral(<voice name="Walter">Hello and welcome to the world of
