It works in context (in the long description), but for the synopsis I'd suggest "reads aloud". > Description : eBook reader that reads out via synthetic voice > ebook-speaker is a command-line electronic book reader that reads out > eBooks using speech synthesis.

It took me a moment to parse "command-line electronic book reader"; eBook does need to be expanded somewhere, but if you shift it you could fit in the word "e-reader", in case anybody's searching for that. (Or should it be "eReader"?) And I suppose I would suggest splitting out the bit you're hoping will need to be revised: Description: eBook reader that reads aloud in a synthetic voice This package provides a command-line e-reader that reads out electronic books using speech synthesis. It has a simple user interface appropriate for Braille terminals. . Currently only the EPUB format is supported. -- JBR Ankh kak!
