For speaking some word one can easily run:
- Code: Select all
festival --tts <<<SomeWord
(which writes SomeWord into stdin of 'festival --tts') for speaking it using Festival, or
- Code: Select all
espeak SomeWord
to speak it through eSpeak.
Please add support for this type of Text-to-Speech.
It is as easy as letting the user specify a command to run (a string) and choose if the word should be passed as an argument or to standard input of the external command (a boolean).
