I have not touched it yet to see how it works, but I have read good things
about espeak-ng.

https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng

Might be an option.

I hit send a bit too quickly…

This link has some good information:

http://blog.michaelamerz.com/wordpress/the-state-of-the-art-linux-text-to-speech-tts/
 


I think Mimic (the TTS engine from Mycroft) might well be a good choice. If we 
want, we could also add skills for Mycroft that would allow it to go both 
directions… Not only TTS, but we could command XASTIR hands free with 
speech.Initially this could be some pretty rudimentary things like “center map 
on ”, “zoom in”, “zoom out”, etc. Then, over time, we could develop 
more and more useful command sets.

Just a thought.

May I suggest looking at Mycroft as a possible replacement.

[Xastir-dev] Heads-up: Festival replacement may need to be found

[David Flood]

Gentoo has dropped support for installing Festival due to the time since the
last code update/release and the lack of an active package maintainer.  It's
possible that other distros may follow making Festival a manual install if
you want to use it with Xastir.
