There are some TTS products out there for Linux. Infortunately, I'm not sure what it takes to make them work. I downloaded the Emacspeak. It built and installed ok, but when I tried to find the info pages (I didn't look very hard) I didn't find them. I may return to this topic. One of the projects I'm interested in is reconstruction of Old Germanic phonology using TTS.
There's some really cool work available in Old English. I started to look inot it, but due to time limitations, was unable to follow through on it.
Did you solve your original problem? Because FreeTTS (freetts.sourceforge.net) has a demo of a speaking clock that sounds just like what you originally wanted. Requires nothing to run except a working java installed. Anders
