Sadly for license reasons it is not available from Artatech for devices not purchased in Polish distribution, and may or may not be installed as an add-on by the users themselves (it looks very fiddly), but perhaps the cooperation with the guys from Artatech or Ivona Software would be helpful for other distributors (I've seen people asking here about tts in German - and Ivona speaks many strange voices, including Welsh, Romanian or Polish).

Hi, janek!
Welcome aboard.
Concerning Ivona tts it must be telepathy
Three days ago I discovered, that in Poland they are using IVONA in M92 and have visited their website. I was really surprized about quality of this speech engine and wrote a mail to the Onyx ingenieurs about possibility to install that engine to M92 and make the users able to download/buy language packages from Ivona. They are testing now how to realize that technically. I hope that very soon we can enjoy the very best TTS synthesys in our beloved ereader.
