emacspeak-ss - Emacspeak speech server for several synthesizers
festival - speech synthesis system
recite - English text speech synthesizer
cowsay - a configurable talking cow
emacspeak - speech output interface to Emacs
flite - a small run-time speech synthesis engine
konq-speaker - text-to-speech plugins for Konqueror and Kate

There was work being done to get flite working well enough to use on the
iPAQ.

I've only used festival. Feeding it something with lots of symbols is kinda
fun. It had timing problems, e.g. starts subsequent sentences before
finishing the sentence it's on, so you get two layers of speech. I don't
know anyone else who's gotten that effect, so I must be special.

ciao,
