Espeak-ng
eSpeak NG is a compact, open-source, software speech synthesizer for Linux, Windows, and other platforms. It uses a formant synthesis method, providing many languages in a small size. Much of the programming for eSpeak NG language support is done using rule files with feedback from native speakers.
