Actually, you're right about dectalk. But
eloquence? Last time I tried it with a few greek
characters it kept very quiet, or does it get shy with foreign words? <smile>

Matt,
Actually, DECTalk only supports ANSI. We transform UNICODE characters to
theyr ANSI equivalents where possible so that DECTalk can speak them.
Eloquence, Vocalizer, the Microsoft Speech Platform, SAPI, and eSpeak
can handle UNICODE natively.
