So, the default voice the Zee uses can be somewhat terrifying to hear My family always looks around in shock when they hear TTS from the Zee being spoken on the HSTouch clients.
The Zee uses flite for converting TTS. Here's how to change it to a more pleasant voice (at least in my opinion)
Edit the /usr/local/HomeSeer/speak_to_file.sh
Change the second line to:
flite -voice slt -o "$1" -t "$2"
This will change it to the 'slt' voice which is a little better than the kal16 voice. For comparison, check out the attached files - rename them to a .wav extension.
