Within Firefox addons, do a search for TTS and you should find "Click Speak" and also "Text to Voice".
you highlight the text you want to be read and either right click and "SpeakIt" or click the SpeakIt icon docked on the Chrome top bar.įirefox users also have two options. There are at least four more male & female voices listed s Chrome extensions if you search the Chrome Web Store using "TTS" as your query. SpeakIt comes with two female voices which both sound very realistic compared to everything else out there. It doesnt work with Chromium for some reason. This only works in the Chrome browser for me on Ubuntu. I believe Ive found the best TTS software for free using a Google Chrome extension called "SpeakIt". You can get other quite good voices from the Nitech repository, but installing them is finicky, and the default paths changed so the file name references in the bundled scheme files may need to be manually edited to work on stock Ubuntu. '(SayText "The temperature is 22 degrees centigrade and there is a slight breeze from the west.")' You can do it from the command line by using -b (or -batch) and putting each command into single quotes: festival -b '(voice_cmu_us_slt_arctic_hts)' \ To make Festival sound natural, here's what to do: sudo apt-get install festivalįestival> (SayText "Don't hate me, I'm just doing my job!") You can easily surpass the pico2wave quality on stock Ubuntu, because one of those voices is available as a ready-made package. However, Festival is a scheme-based speech framework, where a number of researchers have built much better plug-in voices. The default Festival voices are also not that good. Pico and espeak are fun and easy to get to work, but they're not all that good.
