Readplease is a vastly superior, Windows XP text to speech program.
I just got Readplease, to work in Linux MInt 11 after installing the program WINE. Next I downloaded Readplease and ran the file through WINE. It installed a Readplease icon on my desktop. I dragged and dropped it onto the task bar and it launches Readplease with a single click. After experimenting I discovered if you paste and copy your data into LiberOffice Writer first that Readplease reads it perfectly.
@metalx1000 I'm new to linux, but I'm getting the same exact error, however my espeak doesn't speak at all. Its a real bummer. I'm using debian squeeze.
@MrWaynemarshall: Just yesterday I started playing with another Text-to-Voice program called "flite". I saw it mentioned on the grml website (grml is a Debian based LiveCD). I think the voice on flite is clearer then that of espeak.
Hey dude, thanks for your awesome tutorials.I am spendings NIGHTS to check them out and learn:)
I am running crunchbang and i had to install "espeak" from the repos and it actually works.But at the same time i get an a error message saying: "Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
Cannot connect to server socket
jack server is not running or cannot be started"
It always bothers me when i get errors although espeak works.Any idea what to do about that? Thx :)
Jack server is a sound server normally used to connect multiple Sound applications.
Your copy of espeak was probably compiled to utilise jack if it is available.
It's not, so you get an error.
If you wore to compile espeak yourself, I'm betting you would have the option to include that feature or remove it. This is one of the reasons that compiling your own software is more efficient then pre-compiled software. You can choose only what you need.

Is it easy to compile it for beginner

@MrWaynemarshall: I've never needed to compile it. But, I would assume that it would be a standard "configure; make; make install" setup.

The basic usage is:
flite -o play -t "Hello world"

@pheaneasphreak77: So, getting an error like that is not uncommon and in most cases not a problem.
