Hi Nick,
At the moment, Arch is the only talking image we have.  It is 
console-based.  Mike will be able to explain this more in depth, but 
basically, there have been problems getting the pi stable with speech.  
Mike and Jason have gotten this working and the latest image Mike has 
worked on this week should be a big step forward.
