"Speak" is a text-to-speech system which I originally wrote for
Acorn/RISC_OS computers.

I have now converted it to run on Linux and put it on SourceForge as an
open source project.

If anyone is interested in trying it, there are source and Linux binary
downloads at: http://espeak.sourceforge.net/

It works well with the KDE speech system (KTTS) to speak text from the
Clipboard (or directly from Konqueror), and also can be used from the
command-line to speak a text file.

For entertainment, it includes different accents and voices.

I find it more intelligible and easier to listen to for long text
passages than the commonly used Festival TTS engine, although it's not
as natural or "smooth" as some of those voices.

Many thanks for opening up your work.

I have downloaded both the source and the pre-compiled binary and both are giving me a problem.

If I try to compile I get "undefined reference to `Pa_StreamActive'".
If I try the binary I get "speak: undefined symbol: Pa_StreamActive".

I am running SuSE 10.0. The version of portaudio is 19-78.

Any suggestions.
