eSpeak

The Open Source eSpeak supports Lojban.

Web Version

https://eeejay.github.io/espeak/emscripten/espeak.html

Select the "lojban (jbo)" voice.

Command Line Version

https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng

espeak-ng -v jbo

You can then type any Lojban text and press return for it to be read out-loud. Don't press any arrow keys when entering text, as that will cause problems - backspace works fine.

GUI Version

http://espeak.sourceforge.net/

Type in 'jbo' when installing the languages

Other software

http://members.home.nl/w.dijkhuis/lojban/z0300_txt2speech_01.htm has some more TTS examples.

There is also lojban_diphone_speech_synthesizer which uses Praat, but a lot of its links are dead now.
