| Text to Speech on Linux with Espeak | 2020-03-01T10:33:33-05:00 | false | true |
espeak is a command line tool that lets you type in messages and have it said back to you.
To install on Ubuntu
sudo apt install espeak
It's as simple as running it and typing out what you want to say
{{< addaudio "/files/audio/20200301113507984.mp3" >}}
Delightly Linux wrote a great post describing the different features espeak has.
Playing around with different voices and I can get something like this:
{{< addaudio "/files/audio/20200301115220550.mp3" >}}
You can also replicate the sound above by piping the text into espeak
echo "Warning warning the build has failed" | espeak -s 140 -v en+f4
