(Lot) more work is needed around the samples, but things are shaping up
enjoy

I couldn't understand a damn thing!
Could be my fault, too...

You're not the only one
"1 2 3 testing testing this is demonstration of tiido's speech synthesizer bla bla bla...."

How is this done? Every letter is sampled in the bin then they're glued together, looking at a word and loading the sample that corresponds to the next char?
What if the letters have different sounds in different situations?

It uses 31 samples (with silence), and everythign is based on Estonian pronounciation system where a letter is pronounced same in any word (with some exceptions). Russian works so too (with some exceptions).

Well this is a lot harder in EN/ES/FR/PT/others-I-know-nothing-about, because letters can have a TON of different phonetics, however the accents/tilde can help a little

I think you should use phonemes of syllables rather than letters. Then speech will be more clear. A long time ago I did the same thing for russian...

I've got very good results using just letters, samples just have to be done right... I haven't done any work on this today :/

I've done this type of thing myself.
One thing I've always meant to do, but never seem to get around to it, is to attempt to extract samples from speeches by famous people... Could be fun

What about rsynth?

It's based on some really old, bad public domain code but it's marginally understandable and it sounds cool, haha

It use floats for it's computations. It would be a bit of work to convert to integer math. It's also not likely to be anything close to "real time".
