The one I like: http://www.rhetorical.com/cgi-bin/demo.cgi is toast. I think they went broke or got aquired by someone. Also, is there a Festival voice that sounds as good as Rhetorical or the AT & T stuff? The default one is barely legible. Since Festival is a little brutal to configure, I'd like to get someone's recommendation then go through the pain of reconfiguring it only once.
I have been using the web demo of ScanSoft's SpeechWorks - RealSpeak at http://www.scansoft.com/speechworks/realspeak/demo/default.asp. It has very nice output. I even managed to get a nifty perl script going that can do TTS from the command line for me.
