You also need sox and picospeaker as my original email said. Here's an example:
picospeaker -l en-GB -r 20 -o example.flac < file-of-text or: picospeaker -l en-GB -r 20 -o string.flac "this is a string" Audio file types can be any supported by sox. Type an incorrect language value to see valid values, for example just 'en'. You can leave out the rate (-r) switch and leaving out the output file switch (-o) will just speak.
