Hi,

I'm just now catching up on this list and note no one suggested trying
espeak for osx. Yes, it's a formant voice. However, it does provide a
Classical Greek varient, and the maintainer is very supportive of
specific suggestions for improving pronunciation.

I have wondered, however, whether Classical Greek is what we really need
for Biblical study, as the New Testament is in Koine Greek. Here again,
I suspect Jonathan, the maintainer of espeak, would be supportive of
building and providing a Koine voice, if some expert might give him
specifics on what needs to be different. I would imagine Koine is
relatively close to Classical Greek, as the time difference is only a
few centuries.
