Do you know that in linux, you can enjoy a good quality of text to speech application with good quality like the one available in Windows.
And just like other high quality open source software, these application are free to use.
The one i found out and used it is quite easy to use.
I will share it in here so you can benefit with the application.
First you need libreOffice, which will become the GUI. Neat right, because we usually use libreOffice to word processing office like apps.
Then we combine SVOX tools (pico) with LibreOffice.
To install in linux debian :
$sudo apt-get install libttspico0 libttspico-utils libttspico-utils
And how to run the tts? well, we can use the LibreOffice extension.
Install the readtext extension of LibreOffice.
To install the readtext extension, just download the extension, then in LibreOffice, go to Tools - Extension Manager , and add the extension file.
After that you must reload LibreOffice. It will show up as a small smiling icon in the left side of the toolbar.
And to use it, just select the text, and click the readtext extension icon (a Happy face with a ballon) , a pop up will be shown, and setup the command line options to use PICO_READ_TEXT_PY .
Then you get a working text-to-speech system with the beauty of Open Source program.
Enjoy the text to speech system.
