We've been trying to compile voices using sapi as some sapi voices seem to
be eeasier to understand than festival, but I haven't found any information
on how to pass any command line arguments to sapi to actually set things
like the selected voice, and things like that.
I speak English, but it would be cool to see voices in other languages
seeing as I know rockbox encompasses a worldwide community.

I build my own voice files, and espeak is my choice. I agree espeak seems
to be clearer IMO. It sounds more mechanical perhaps, but I find it more
intelligible.
