Comment (by pulkomandy):

 TalkBox comes with a bundled Festival which hardcodes paths to various
 things, making it difficult to run on a current system. Writing a recipe
 for a current version of Festival and packaging it would solve at least
 part of the problem: http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/

 the TalkBox itself is just an xicon script, so it can be modified with a
 text editor if it needs to be fixed. Same for ChangeVoices. They both use
 the "saytext" command from festival to actually do things.
