I have read threads stating that pico2wave provides a better quality
(although it be unclear in what respect it is "better". This is
rather subjective).

By the way may I suggest that you replace (or add to) espeak with
its successor, espeak-ng:

Yes it can but maybe pico2wave is also better.

I will post "what is the better speech synthesizer able to record
a wave file" in accessibility related mailing lists and will let
you know the results.

Thanks and congrats for your very good quality SlackBuilds.
