it is not technically needed as gnome-speech can alreay use espeak ; if one
wants to use festival instead, pkg_add festival and some voices is enough,
gnome-speech will be able to use it transparently when configured to do so
The GNOME Speech API allows developers to incorporate speech technology
into user interfaces for their GNOME applications. This API specifies a
cross-platform interface to support command and control recognizers,
dictation systems and speech synthesizers.
