Actually there was a big thred on making one's own espeak variants on
the nvda discussion list a while back. It is all done with settings,
and the settings are documented somewhere. So you can take a simple
nvda variant in a text file and tweak the settings to make an entirely
new voice, or I think they are making or have made a voice panel aplet
that lets you do this thing. You can also talk directly to the
developer if something isn't pronounced or accented right and he will
change it.
Best,
Erik

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.

I'm not a fan of the ESpeak voices, but they have one major advantage
going for them...they include support for a huge number of languages.
