hmmm I think you are the odd one out dark.
In its defence I have actually grown to like espeak.
Espeak is robotic tinny crap but its fast and hardly ever crashes.
Unlike sapi especially the bigger engines there are no lags or pronounciation errors, there is also language accent switching to some degree, so you could be from island and want that accent and you can reasonably enough. Quality wise for a free synth its actually quite good as long as you realise its electronic, tinny and thin.
It reminds me of the old keynote I sued to run with.
My synths were all crappy robots and to be honest the human sounding stuff really chews up power I do have it legally with some products but don't use it.

I'd not be in favour of espeak being the only output sean.

One of the advantages of sapi is that it's possible to improve things with a better voice, espeak just isn't good, indeed back when the 7-128 games self voiced with espeak I actually found the word games dam hard to play due to difficulties telling the difference when the voice was saying b d g or e.

At least if on weindows the thing uses sapi people will be able to use any good sapi compliant voice they have for the games, rather than be stuck with a bad one. also, it might be personal opinion, but I'd rather use mike or mary than espeak anyway.

Beware the Grue!
