# say.sh
|
|
|
|
This script enables any debian based GNU/Linux distribution to talk! Based on Google's text to speach Android application, it gives you a few commands to ease your TTS experience on Linux.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Before installing the script, you will need to install a few dependencies:
|
|
|
|
- libttspico-utils
|
|
- sox
|
|
- dialog
|
|
- xsel
|
|
|
|
To install all of them at once type the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get install libttspico-utils sox dialog xsel
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Warning:** As libttspico-utils is a non-free package, it may not be available in your default packqge repositories.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
To start installing the script simply type:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
. say.sh install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will go through a few operations required for it to work properly:
|
|
|
|
- creating a /home/user/bin/say directory
|
|
- moving the script to newly created directory
|
|
- creating and setting config file within newly created directory
|
|
- adding an instruction to /gome/user/.bashrc file
|
|
- reloading .bashrc file
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
This command sets language to US English, volume to 1.2 and speed to 0.8
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
saycfg en-US 1.2 0.8
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The script supports over to 6 different languages. Volume variates from 0 to 2 and speed from 0.5 to 1.5.
