Detecting the native locale

[Joshua Minor]

There is a pulldown menu that lets you pick any accent that espeak  
supports (minus a few that don't produce sound).  If you want to  
select one of those as your default, you can configure Speak any way  
you want (eyes, mouth, etc) and then press Keep.  Resuming that entry  
in the Journal will restore those settings.
