Pretty sure the eSpeak software - not the synth, but the actual app just uses 
your machine's default sapi voice, since, for example, if I start it now on 
this machine it will come up with MS Anna as the default, but have in the past 
used it with scansoft daniel, etc. etc.

Stay well

  Unfortunately I'm looking more at a universal approach, where we can get any 
sapi5 engine to work. For example, the voice i want to use to create this is 
either microsoft anna or a neospeech voice... ESpeak seems to be it's own 
synthesizer...

  eSpeak has a command line version for generating .wav files from input text:

    > Quentin: What do you mean by spoken text? I think the general problem is 
to find a tool which receives a text as input, and converts it to Wave/MP3, 
using a synthesizer. Please note that I am not meaning a sound recording 
utility which captures the voice of the synthesizer while it is speaking. I 
mean a direct text to wave/MP3, which can encode a , for example 20-minute 
Wave/MP3 file, out of a text using a synthesizer in a few seconds

    Yes, I have well understood. DSpeech takes a text file and convert it into 
wave or MP3, but it is not command line and probably cannot be used as batch.
