You could try

http://tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis/mbrola.html

and

http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/

mbrola works reasonably well, though I thought the quality of the german
speech output was much better than the english version. I didn't have the
time to compile festival and hook them together, but will probably do so
this week. If you only want english, spanish or welsh TTS you only need
the festival system.
