I came across Festival, via Ktts and Kmouth. You can pipe text into it
via a command line script. Something like this:
echo "I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave." | festival --tts
Which means that ANYTHING that can be boiled down to a text steam is
fair game. Doing a "cat somefile" works just as well.
With a little digging, I managed to switch the voice to a female voice,
though it still is not quite as smooth as it should be.
I think my next task then is to write a script that can create the
summary statements I want. Python seems to have some speech capabilities...

It's not very traditional but I use it to track weather & gmail.
When I get time I want to write a bit of Python so it can read my IRC
and calendaring info as well.

I'm looking at playing with speech synthesis and speech recognition.
I have this idea that I'd like to be able to tell my computer to "check
mail" and have it open the mail client. Or "browse web" and have it
open a browser. And perhaps have my mail, or web/rss feeds read to me
while I continue doing other work.
I've found this page: http://linux-sound.org/speech.html. But I'm
curious if anyone has any recommendations on what software I should try
out or avoid.
Thanks.
