Well, I for one welcome it with open arms. Right now, I'm forced to write in Greeklish (Greek with Latin lettering), use a Windows machine or use that handy little program with ESpeak. But I want a fully accessible Hellenic screenreader for the Mac so I can browse the web and take my lessons. I actually find ESpeak to be among the better Greek synths out there, particularly because it properly recognises the tonos (accent mark). Sure, it has it's flaws, but so does everything else. At least, it's customisable and you can use different voices or your own, always assuming you know how to program, which I don't.
