Yeah, even eSpeak would be an improvement.
At least eSpeak is intelligible.
I should contact Roku and see if they can add it,
it is an open source speech engine, so it would not cost them to use it.

I don't doubt you at all, when you talk about the speech being god awful on
the Roku. Believe you me, I feel your pain! This is exactly the reason why I
have said over and over and over again time and time again, I would never wish
a Roku on my worst enemy.

Hey,
Anyone here tried to enter your account settings into the Roku Express for
something like Netflix?
It's awful.
I will have to have sighted assistance.
I have put in other stuff so far into Roku, like my email address, using
the arrow keys and the okay to enter the character.
But I was trying to enter my eMail and password for my Netflix account, and
the keyboard layout is not straight forward like it was when registering the
Roku.
I cannot tell what many of the letters are by sound, the speech is so bad.
The Roku needs to allow a keyboard to be paired with it for this stuff.
Just venting here, I spent an hour or more trying, and I'll have to get
some eyes for this.
