Installed IVONA Voices (http://www.ivona.com/), which seemed to run OK. Required SAPI5 installation with Wine in Windows ME emulation mode beforehand. Added another Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine (Demo of Text Aloud) to test, and it worked, using one of IVONA's voices. Copy is, of course licensed, although the demo has same results. I got the following errors when I run IVONA, can anyone help with what I must do to correct? I am running a new installation of Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop with all packages -- including Wine -- up to date.
