I think I appreciate where you're coming from. I can say it's like no accent I've ever heard before. That and the speed of some bits made portions of the speech impossible to understand.

As it stands, it does need a lot of work (sorry, I had no intention to infer otherwise, got a bit ahead of myself). What I found exciting was that I personally think the sample clip has the right bits hidden in the sound somewhere - while it sounds weird atm, as josh replied here there's something to it that is uncanny in its approximation in human speech.

I feel that there's that potential there for gnuspeech to become a great speech synthesis tool. I haven't read the paper yet but it's method of simulating the human vocal system looks promising.
