While not being true "TTS", there are efforts by LumenVox to 
incorporate speech recognition into Asterisk.  They were at Astricon, 
and they also were present at IP4IT in the Digium booth on 
Monday/Tuesday of this week.

I have spoken with Gerd Graumann at LumenVox, and he says that they 
are planning for a Q1 release.  While I don't have any written 
details, there were discussions about making a single-user license 
"very affordable", which probably means $50 or less I suspect.  This 
would be a native Linux environment for all components.  Again, while 
I have no specific details, I believe that Digium is working with 
them to develop a dialplan application that would allow specific 
word-matching rules to be easily built.
