OK, it all seems to be working. I can select the Speech Dispatcher 
engine from the gnopernicus voices selection. I can see why the Festival 
voices are considered better than the f-lite ones, but it does work.

Perhaps the default settings are a bit too fast though? (or rather what 
are our default settings? -- it seems like the 'accelerated' voice is 
the default) I know that people who are used to these systems tend to 
set the rate quite high, but perhaps we should go with a conservative 
default and let people tweak it for performance as they get used to it.
