this is great - it's a video done by Aban Tech, the voice is a robot
but done quite well, i didn't notice until there were spelling
mistakes and pronounciation errors :)

Hey Mr. Luke,

I am a non-native english speaker which makes youtube videos about
open-source hardware and 3d prints and I have some trouble getting the
pronunciation right for my videos. Example:
That synthesized/robot voice
would really make things easier for me. Do you know how could I use it for
my videos?

Maybe take a look at Festival:

Speakup seems to be another alternative; I’ve never used it.

I do know festival/espeak but the problem with them is that their voices
are too robotic, they are not well fit for replacing my own voice. What I
found amazing about the video is that how it can be taken as a "real"
voice, with credible emphasis and pronounciation.

Speakup is not a text-to-speech engine. It's a screen reader for blind
users.

As far as I know, the best libre TTS engine is MARY
(http://mary.dfki.de/). Many of the voices are not libre though.

Thank you very much for that reference. The voices there seem pretty
convincing indeed.

I immediately recognized the text-to-speech engine that the video used.
It's NeoSpeech (http://www.neospeech.com/). It's not free. And it's also
not likely that the producer of the video used NeoSpeech directly; they
probably used some other product that licensed the engine. I have no
idea what product that would be.
