Hello from Linux!

Quicktweaks shows how to let your GNU/Linux system say something. Isn’t that fascinating? You can have your computer tell you that you have mail, or you could have a story read out loud if you need to be away from the keyboard for a while.

espeak is the tool that article mentioned and it seems like a really cool thing. You could even define phonemes. This is useful if you would be using this tool a lot.

I could imagine people who would like to have their e-books read out loud when their eyes are already tired. Aside from that, it could be used to announce something or if you want a consistent voice over in your slides, you could use the file output of espeak so that you could use that too.

Enjoy playing around with espeak!
