Until today, i had never used eSpeak. Nor did i get the opportunity to hear about it. Well now that i have used it, i thought i could share my experience with this speech synthesizer tool. No more worries about your eyes now. You can call eSpeak from the terminal without any hassle and enjoy the somewhat machine sounding voice pronouncing the text. Good news for ubuntu users! it's installed by default. For others, here's where you should look at.
As just a simple demonstration of this tool, you can try this at terminal;
kailash@kailash-desktop:~/Desktop$ espeak "hello world!"
In order to read a text file, all you need to do is insert an extra parameter;
kailash@kailash-desktop:~/Desktop$ espeak -f filename
Though the sound seems quite unclear, you can still enjoy the way he speaks. There are whole bunch of other features. For more details, here's the documentation.
