You might be in luck, although my information is probably old. 
Back in 1976 I worked at the Royal Institute of Technology
in Stockholm on a text-to-speech system. There were two versions,
one from Swedish to Swedish, and the other English to English.
I worked briefly on the English to English system. This was one
of the first text-to-speech systems and was based on the work
done at the Naval Research Lab and at MIT. My boss was Gunnar
Fant who is now semi-retired. You should contact the Institute
for Speech Transmission at RIT.
