After eSpeak integration, text-to-speech became possible for such languages as Albanian, Afrikaans, Welsh, Hungarian, Vietnamese, Greek, Danish, Indonesian, Icelandic, Catalan, Chinese (Northern dialects), Latvian, Macedonian, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese , Romanian, Russian , Serbian, Slovak, Swahili, Turkish, Finnish, Croatian, Czech, Swedish.
