Till now we had simple IVR so we recorded it ourself.
Now I have a requirement where customer needs a customized message to be played to customer. I am basically looking for some Text to Speech software that would be cost effective (most probably a open source) and would convert Text to Speech.
I tried Fetival, but the quality of the sound is not good. Can we improve the sound quality of Festival somehow.

I did a demo IVR for a potential client and it was hard to tell the TTS
bits from the human bits. If I took the time to learn Cepstral's markup
language I probably could have fooled myself :)
Thanks in advance,
