I use espeak and SuperCollider for all my robot choral needs.  The basic workflow is this:

Run a program in SuperCollider that:
     executes the appropriate espeak command, generating a WAV file
     imports the WAV file into a buffer
Then run SuperCollider synths, effects, etc. using that buffer.

Results are very good.  You could easily route SuperCollider to an effects processor using JACK if needed.  I can provide more details off-list if you like.

Hey there again,

I was wondering if anyone out there knew of a voice synthesis program
that could be routed through Jack?  Maybe I'm not using the right
terminology, but I want to be able to make the computer say what I
type, but have the output routed through different effects processors
via Jack.  I'm losing sleep over this, but I have this choir of robots
in my head that need to get out.  All the ones I've found so far work
completely independently and recording them is no less than a superb
pain in the rear end.  Perhaps it's time I learn how to program so I
can make my own singing robots.
