Many years ago, I added the speech synthesis APIs from OS X to GNUstep using flite: https://www.freshports.org/audio/flite/ flite it small (the port contains separate .so and .a files for each voice, a minimal version needs only one), has no dependencies outside of the base system, and is permissively licensed. I haven't used it for a while (apparently it's had a new major release since I last did), but I was happily using it for text-to-speech on FreeBSD 10-15 years ago and it is still in ports. David
