Josh, to switch that instance of eSpeak over to US english, edit espeak.py
with something like notepad, and on line 5, change the current line to:
_espeak.setVoiceByLanguage("en-us")
That makes it use US english - even switched it over to a couple of other
languages/variants now when testing.
Those languages/variants of voices match the files in the espeak-data\voices
sub-folder - under en there's a few kinds of english, including en-us.
Stay well

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] tiny talk in dos
it doesn't really matter. with windows7 and the right pyserial and
com0com with signed drivers the windows3.1 vmware image and the virtual
braille 'n speak server I have all the dos I could ever want with the
microtalk and whatever other screen reader i want, talking through
espeak on virtual serial port com1. now if i could make the vbns server
mod its code to make espeak use its american english voice an maybe
another variant like m3?

Well josh it does not help that at least with laptops and maybe other
things pc speakers are linked with soundcards now so are vertual.
Either that or they are crappy small things because they don't have to be.
Worse I am not sure if the new eufi systems will even run dos, they do
have speakers but they sound different notes from bios units, bios ones
usually are a with toshibas with an e chime, the eufi systems I have used
have a c chime so they are probably different.
Since eufi is not cmos
I can only assume thatt dos games will not run from it because its a
different structure.
