+from the NetBSD maintainer:
+
+This voice provides a British English male voice using a residual
+excited LPC diphone synthesis method. It uses the CMU Lexicon
+pronunciations. Prosodic phrasing is provided by a statistically
+trained model using part of speech and local distribution of breaks.
+Intonation is provided by a CART tree predicting ToBI accents and
+an F0 contour generated from a model trained from natural speech.
+The duration model is also trained from data using a CART tree.
+
+This voice can be activated via (voice_rab_diphone).
