Can't confirm how well espeak works, since I didn't try it, but I have tried pyttsx on Windows. (pyttsx is a Python library which uses SAPI5 on Windows and espeak on Linux.)
Worked okay for me. Not tested a lot though. Here's my simple Python snippet for trying pyttsx on Windows:
"The pyttsx library is a cross-platform wrapper that supports the native text-to-speech libraries of Windows and Linux at least, using SAPI5 on Windows and eSpeak on Linux."
Also, check out the synthesized train announcer's voice in my blog post above - somewhat eerie and cool :)

(A commenter on the above ActiveState recipe said my pyttsx recipe worked fine for him with espeak on Crux Linux.)
