Speakonia

What works

Text to Speech (included voices from L&H)
Pitch and Speed sliders (did not work a few years ago)
Reading a web page (see What was not tested for more info)
Copying text (see What does not work for more info)
Using the additional Microsoft Voices (Mary, Sam & Mike; must be installed separately) (see What was not tested for more info)
Saving and Retrieving text files
Reading clipboard from other Wine apps
Saving Speech to .wav
HTML help (Wine loads additional components )
Lexicon (only after restarting Speakonia)

What does not

Reading clipboard from Linux apps (pasting to Linux makes the selected text spoken in a loop, disable this option in the Tools menu)

The buttons Apply and Test sometimes do not produce an auditive confirmation.
The play button sometimes does not reset at the end of the text. Manually clicking on stop is required. (for example, when using "Tell current time", you need to press stop then press "tell current date" to hear the date)

Workarounds

What was not tested

Reading a web page through proxy
