Unified Messaging was really hot 5+ years ago, now I dont see the
advertisements for service providers and such  that I once saw, but then
I also dont work for a UM company anymore and I did at that time so
maybe that has something to do with it.

Many millions in VC were flying around at one time, of course that was
late 90s early 2000 and any crackpot could get VC money (and many did :)
Doing it totally free is going to be the trick because the tools that
are available arent quite what they could be.  So you would either have
to invest a lot of time yourself into making this all work well or buy
some commercial products.  TTS is one of the areas that free isnt always
better, although rumors abound that you can tweak festival to be much
better than its default settings, it may be worth it to invest a few
hundred into some other program so you dont have to play as much.  Time
vs Money issue.
