Open source software that can make the text into speech
eSpeak is a compact open source software speech synthesizer for English, and potentially other languages, for Linux and Windows.eSpeak will surely produce good quality English speech. It uses a different synthesis method from other open source TTS engines, and sounds quite different. Its perhaps not as natural or "smooth", but I find the articulation clearer and easier to listen to for long periods.
eSpeak is a compact open source software speech synthesizer for English, and potentially other languages, for Linux and Windows.eSpeak can run as a command line program to speak text from a file or from stdin. A shared library version is also available. It works well as a "Talker" with the KDE text to speech system (KTTS), as an alternative to Festival for example. As such, It can speak text which has been selected into the clipboard, or directly from the Konquerer browser or the Kate editor.Includes different Voices, whose characteristics can be altered.
A SAPI5 version for Windows, so it can be used with screen-readers and other programs that support the Windows SAPI5 interface. eSpeak has been ported to other platforms, including Solaris and Mac OSX.
