"eSpeak" is an open-source TTS with a lojban voice which yo= u can
experiment with:

http://espeak.s= ourceforge.net

The name of the lojban voice is "jbo".

The current development version has a few improvements. It is at:
http://= espeak.sf.net/test/latest.html

If you have suggestions for corrections, please tell me.

eSpeak uses formant synthesis and therefore the quality is not as good.
=A0However, eSpeak can also be used as a front-end for "mbrola" d= iphone
voices, which sound more human. =A0Perhaps you find one which has the
necessary set of phonemes for lojban. =A0Information on eSpeak + mbrola
is at:
