Hey Santosh.

That is a very impressive demo! Our plan is to add more engines going forward. 
Flite might be one of them. I looked into it a few months ago, and it did not 
seem feasible, but I can't remember why..

If you would like to port it to Firefox OS, you should look at what was 
required to get svox/picotts ported. Here are some bugs to look at:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=904687
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=863174

If you go the route above, you would be integrating it into Firefox OS's native 
layer. And it would require a lot of coordination. We don't currently have a 
way to introduce 3rd party speech engines in the market.

Cheers,
 Eitan.

We have a tts engine used for accessibility purposes (see
https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/content/media/webspeech/synth/)
based on picotts. I'm cc-ing Eitan that knows this are way better.
