Free speech engines

[jackz15]

I wrote a Perl vocab program that reads vocab from a database, the program uses the default speech engine on windows. I dislike my current engine, does anyone know of a a GOOD free speech engine that i can download?

you can search CPAN:

http://search.cpan.org/search?query=speech&mode=all

I don't know if one module is better than the other so I have no recommendations.

i probably wasnt all that clear but i'm not looking for a perl module for speech but a speech engine like Microsoft Sam, Mary etc. except not as bad quality as those engines. something like:

except its free.

This is the wrong forum for that question. Ask in the software forums.
