is a more natural-sounding speech program on the horizon?

        The other day I listed to synthesized speech on a website and it
        blew me away.  Yes, festival does a fair job except for words
        over grade-school level.  (It stumbled on words with apostrophes
        that are usually encoded with a triplet-prefix, like 0xe2-0x80,
        0x90.)  With work in editing my festival pronounciation
        configuration filter, these things may be fixable.)

        So Q1: can anybody point me to these types of filters?  And
        any guesses regarding a better kind of synthesizer.

        thanks in advance, people,
