I would recommend looking at Cepstal.  The voices are cheap, like 
$30(US) per voice per server.  The quality is great and there are a 
number of third party libraries that abstract the use of the Cepstral 
Swift engine.  Or you can just use the system command to create the 
sound files to play.

I wrote a free AGI application for swift a while back that should work 
ok for you as well:

There is another one, a direct add-on for Asterisk, that will play the 
cepstral voices directly from a stream instead of first creating a file. 
  I forgot the name/url though.  Hopefully someone will jump in and 
provide that.

Try Cepstral.  It is easy to setup and the voices are pretty darn good.

Thanks,
