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

[John Roach]

Ave you tried Orca or Speech Dispatcher?  If you have Gnome installed open a
term window and try spd-say "Hello"

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.
