I remember a long time ago, when I had windows, the soundblaster card
came with such kind of voice synthetizer, with a syntax to change the
module (aka voice).

On linux, Festival has a mode to process commands, and it's then easy to
switch to another voice. It just make the normal text a bit cumbersome,
as it must be inserted in commands too (SayText...)
(well, Festival is not linux centric, so there is some binary for
windows too... if you like terminal...)

The nice thing, there is even a command to save to a wave file.

The hard thing: it's hard to get new voices.
