[Cialug] something like OSX /usr/bin/say on linux?

[Nathan Stien]

Hello luggers,

Does anyone know if there is an ultra-simple text-to-speech program
for Linux?  On Mac OS X there is a really nice program called
/usr/bin/say which just synthesizes stdin into speech and plays it
through the sound system.  You can even 'say -o output.aiff' to get
the speech as a file.

I messed around with Festival for a little bit, but I couldn't find
something so simple and turn-key as the OSX program.
