The default text to speech options on most (all?) linux distros are pretty outdated, so I'm working on a little tool to easily install and configure a more modern option (Piper) and fully integrate it with existing applications via speech-dispatcher

As a result of my fiddling around, I now have @popey narrating my every action through the Orca screen reader...

That's cool, but how quickly does this more demanding TTS engine start speaking compared to espeak? Responsiveness is important for screen reader users.
