Hi,

Note that mbrola is only a phoneme -> speech engine. 
So in order to be a real speech software, you need a text-to-phoneme 
program for the specific language (in this case deutch). 
In order to work with brltty, the text-to-phoneme program has to 
understand the BRLTTY external speech protocol for example. 
This is what the cicero TTS engine does (freench and english only). 
Cicero has been developped by Nicolas Pitre.
