Maybe I should rephrase my previous message, sorry if I was unclear.
And my answer might not be authoritative, as I am not using text-to-speech (on Linux or otherwise).
- calibre doesn't directly support TTS engines on Linux, it interacts with speech-dispatcher that acts sort of like a neutral translation layer in the process (at least this is how I understand kovidgoyal's answer)
- speech-d itself can communicate with various TTS engines. The list is given on the page I suggested
- You do not like Espeak, this is fine as you have several other possible choices in the compatibility list. Pick one on the list and decide if it is better, if not try another one and hopefully one will meet your needs
I hope this helps. If not do not hesitate to ask about the details that are problematic to you.
